SYSTEM CHANGE

DYVÓ’s SYSTEM-CHANGE [SC] program aims to develop a knowledge base on the policy challenges and reforms required to address the issue of plastic waste. By tackling plastic waste in both the public and private areas, the program aims to provide policymakers and enterprises with the necessary knowledge to integrate plastic-free policies within their modus-operandi.

Most importantly, DYVÓ aims to converge policy-making in Kosovo in line with the global best practices and legal frameworks on plastic usage and plastic waste management, as well as raising awareness within the community for a sustainable lifestyle that focuses on environmental protection and regeneration.
