Circular economy - a response to climate change
Smarter operations, more efficient use of resources.
How do we apply these principles?
Zero-waste operations
No waste from our own activities
Full-cycle urban services
From waste collection to sorting to recycling
From commercial to urban cleaning to the maintenance of parks, streets, and sidewalks
