The success story of the island of Krk: the first Croatian island with the prestigious ‘Zero Waste’ certificate
In the summer, the island of Krk is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Croatia, welcoming up to six times more people than the number of permanent residents during the peak season. Despite this strong seasonal influx and numerous waste management challenges, the seven local government units on the island and the utility company Ponikve eko otok Krk d.o.o. have become a leading example in Croatia of how to implement an effective Zero Waste strategy. The long-term cooperation with Zelena akcija, the national coordinator of the Zero Waste Europe network, contributed significantly to this success.
