Oběhové hospodářství je často skloňováno především ve spojení s odpady a jejich využíváním. S novým předsedou výkonného výboru České asociace oběhového hospodářství (ČAObH) jsme si povídali o aktuálním stavu oběhového hospodářství u nás i v Evropě a o celkovém směřování ČAObH v krátkém i delším horizontu. Dalo by se o českém hospodářství říci, že je […]

The third edition of the conference "Waste in Corporate Ecology 2023" was significant both in terms of the number of participants in the hall and online, and above all in the opportunity to ask questions to the members of the three panels. The choice of topics for the panel discussions "Where to go with waste under the law", "Waste transport" and the last panel discussion on "Packaging - life cycle and packaging waste" were based on the still debated areas of what is legal and [...]
The activities of the ČAObH energy cluster have recently focused primarily on finding pragmatic solutions to the problem of energy recovery of waste that is no longer materially usable, both in the context of the planned diversion of waste from landfills and the increasing rate of required recycling of municipal waste in particular, and as a partial contribution to increasing the diversity of domestic sources for energy recovery. The Energy Cluster has prepared a framework [...]
It is in the activities of the Packaging Cluster of the CAObH that the reason for the creation and the proof of the generally used autonomy of all CAObH clusters can be clearly seen. In addition to large companies that handle packaging waste, it brings together designers of new packaging in a unique way and uses this informal professional platform to communicate with technologists of sorting and especially recycling lines. It is beyond belief that despite the flood of different [...]
