From Waste to the Red Carpet: CETAP’s Circular-Economy Campaign Takes Centre Stage at Sarajevo Film Festival
As part of CETAP’s public-awareness campaign, “Let’s adopt new habits. Let’s use waste.”, a material destined for disposal was transformed into a couture dress and showcased on one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s most prominent cultural stages: the Sarajevo Film Festival.
Worn on the red carpet by model Sarah Čerkez, the striking creation by designer Marko Feher, produced in collaboration with Eterna, demonstrated a central message of CETAP’s campaign: what we perceive as waste can still have value.
Turning the campaign message into something tangible
The “Let’s adopt new habits. Let’s use waste.” campaign aims to encourage people across Bosnia and Herzegovina to reconsider their relationship with waste. Instead of viewing discarded materials solely as something to be thrown away, the campaign promotes reuse, recycling and more responsible consumption.
For this initiative, the campaign message was brought to life through fashion and design.
As featured on Vogue Adria, approximately two and a half metres of damaged faux leather had originally been destined for disposal. Rather than allowing the material to become waste, it was laser-cut into around 2,000 individual heart-shaped pieces.
The pieces were carefully positioned to make maximum use of the available surface before being assembled into the dress’s intricate metallic bodice. The finished creation combined these repurposed elements with a dramatic black skirt, transforming a damaged material into a distinctive couture garment.
Presented on the Sarajevo Film Festival red carpet, the dress became more than a fashion statement. It offered a highly visible example of how creativity and innovation can change our perception of waste.
Waste can become a resource
In a linear economy, materials are produced, used and then discarded. Products that are damaged, left over or no longer suitable for their original purpose can quickly be classified as waste, even when they retain the potential to be used again.
The CETAP campaign encourages a different way of thinking. Before throwing something away, we should ask whether it can be repaired, reused, recycled or transformed into something new.
The dress worn by Sarah Čerkez illustrates this shift in perspective. The damaged faux leather did not need to be returned to its original purpose to retain value. Through imaginative design and precise production techniques, it was given an entirely new function.
While one dress cannot resolve the wider environmental challenges associated with waste or the fashion industry, it can communicate an important principle: materials do not necessarily lose their value simply because they are no longer suitable for their first intended use.
Using creativity to inspire new habits
The transition to a circular economy requires more than new legislation, technologies and waste-management infrastructure. It also depends on changing everyday attitudes and behaviours.
Creative initiatives can make this change feel relevant and achievable. By presenting repurposed waste as part of a couture creation, the project transformed the concept of circularity from an abstract idea into something visible, memorable and inspiring.
Showcasing the dress at Sarajevo Film Festival also enabled the CETAP campaign to reach audiences beyond traditional environmental discussions. It demonstrated that sustainability and creativity can work together—and that reusing existing materials does not have to mean compromising on beauty, quality or ambition.
Instead, limitations can become a source of inspiration. Materials that appear damaged, unwanted or unusable can encourage designers, businesses and individuals to experiment with new techniques and possibilities.
Changing how Bosnia and Herzegovina perceives waste
The “Let’s adopt new habits. Let’s use waste.” campaign supports CETAP’s wider work to encourage more sustainable waste practices and advance Bosnia and Herzegovina’s transition towards a circular economy.
This transition begins with recognising that waste is often a resource in the wrong place. The same principle demonstrated through the Sarajevo Film Festival dress can be applied to packaging, furniture, textiles, construction materials, electrical equipment and many other products used in everyday life.
By keeping materials in use for longer, we can reduce the consumption of new resources, prevent avoidable waste and lessen the pressure placed on our environment.
The transformation of damaged faux leather into a red-carpet couture creation showed what can happen when we look at waste differently. A material destined for disposal became one of the most distinctive designs at Sarajevo Film Festival—and a powerful expression of CETAP’s campaign message.
Let’s adopt new habits. Let’s use waste.
Nearly 250,000 PET Bottles Collected as Citizens Embrace New Recycling Habits
CETAP partnered with Coca-Cola and Konzum to deliver a bottle return scheme in Bosnia and Herzegovina which shows how accessible collection points, practical incentives and strong partnerships can turn awareness into action.
Over six weeks, citizens across five cities returned 249,367 PET bottles and received BAM 24,936.70 in BONUS marks—setting a new record for the initiative.
A record-breaking season for recycling
From 13 June to 18 July 2026, citizens deposited PET bottles at seven collection points in Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Tuzla, Zenica and Mostar. This is the fourth addition of Coca-Cola’s “Recycle Me. Give Me a New Life.” Project – and with CETAP’s support – its most successful yet, with almost a quarter of a million bottles collected.
Participants who returned PET packaging at selected Konzum stores received BONUS marks directly on their Pika Cards. By combining convenient collection with a tangible benefit, the campaign helped make environmentally responsible behaviour easier to adopt as part of everyday life.
Why CETAP joined the initiative
This year, CETAP joined Coca-Cola and Konzum as a project partner as part of our ‘Let’s adopt new habits. Let’s use waste!’ campaign. For CETAP, the campaign is a practical example of the circular economy in action: materials are collected separately, processed responsibly and returned to the production cycle instead of being treated as waste.
CETAP—Technical Assistance for Improved Material Recovery from Waste through Separate Collection, Reuse and Recycling Based on Circular Economy Principles—is funded by the European Union. The project supports Bosnia and Herzegovina in improving waste-management practices and aligning them with the European Green Deal and circular economy principles.
The campaign also reflects CETAP’s wider public-awareness message: lasting progress depends not only on infrastructure, but also on giving people the capability, opportunity and motivation to adopt new habits. The record participation achieved this year demonstrates what can happen when all three come together.
Partnership turns participation into impact
All PET packaging collected through the campaign was handled, processed and recycled by project partners Ekopak and Eurobeta in accordance with high recycling standards. This ensured that the material was returned to the production cycle and given a new purpose—an essential step in closing the loop.
“Every bottle collected represents an important step in closing the loop of collecting, processing and reusing packaging. Said Igor Zgrabljić, Director of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Coca-Cola HBC Adria
Zgrabljić highlighted the continued year-on-year growth in both the number of bottles collected and the number of participants, describing it as evidence that investment in environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility is effective. He also thanked the citizens and project partners whose participation made the results possible.
Adisa Zimić, Head of Marketing at Konzum, noted that the results show responsible packaging-waste management becoming part of everyday life for more citizens. She emphasised that small changes in daily behaviour can produce a significant benefit for communities and the environment.
Building momentum for a circular economy
Results from the initiative over the past five years point to growing awareness of recycling in Bosnia and Herzegovina. More people are recognising the value of separating waste and keeping useful materials in circulation.
For CETAP, this record is both a reason to celebrate and a foundation on which to build. Continued cooperation between citizens, businesses, waste-management organisations and public institutions will be essential to make separate collection and recycling more accessible across the country.
Nearly 250,000 returned bottles represent nearly 250,000 individual choices to use waste as a resource. Together, those choices are helping Bosnia and Herzegovina move towards a cleaner, more circular future.
Supporting Doboj’s Youngest Citizens to Separate Waste
Turning environmental awareness into everyday action
As part of wider activities to raise awareness of environmental protection, primary school pupils in Doboj took part in an educational session on separating waste correctly at the point where it is generated.
The pupils were shown, in a clear and practical way, why waste should be disposed of properly and how each person can help create a cleaner and healthier community. By connecting environmental ideas with simple actions that children can apply at school and at home, the session made responsible waste management easier to understand.
Learning what goes where
A key focus of the activity was helping pupils recognise the correct containers for common recyclable materials. Paper and cardboard should be placed in the blue container, while plastic should be placed in the yellow container.
Although these instructions are straightforward, learning them early is an important part of building confidence and reducing contamination in separately collected waste. Clear guidance helps children understand that correct separation is not an abstract environmental goal, but a practical habit they can adopt every day.
Building responsible habits from an early age
Educational activities of this kind aim to develop responsible habits among younger generations and strengthen their understanding of why protecting the environment matters. Children can also carry these lessons beyond the classroom, sharing what they have learned with their families and helping good recycling practices become more widely understood.
For CETAP, education is a vital part of the transition to a circular economy. Infrastructure for separate collection is essential, but it must be supported by knowledge: people need to know what can be recycled, how materials should be separated and why keeping resources in circulation is worthwhile.
CETAP support for local environmental education
The activity was delivered by KP “Progres” a.d. Doboj with the support of CETAP—who provided the recycling bins as well as branded stickers to make it clear and appealing which recycling materials go into which bin.
Funded by the European Union, CETAP supports Bosnia and Herzegovina in improving waste-management practices and aligning them with the European Green Deal and circular economy principles. Working with local partners allows the project to translate these wider objectives into practical activities that respond to the needs of individual communities.
By giving children clear information and practical skills, we can help a new generation see waste not simply as something to throw away, but as a resource that can be separated, recovered and used again.
Recycle and win a prize: New competition as motivation to protect the environment of Bosnia and Herzegovina
As part of the CETAP public awareness campaign “Let’s adopt new habits! Let’s use waste!”, a new competition for communities has been launched and is open to all citizens.
The competition lasts from June 1 to December 28, 2026 , and participants have the opportunity to win prizes every week by simply recycling cans, plastic bottles and glass bottles, with publication on social networks.
Three winners are drawn each week – so every recycled item counts.
How to participate?

CETAP is a technical assistance project funded by the European Union that supports Bosnia and Herzegovina in transforming its approach to waste management. By promoting separate collection, reuse and recycling, in accordance with the principles of the circular economy, the project contributes to reducing the impact on the environment and opening up new economic opportunities. CETAP also supports the process of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s accession to the European Union by harmonizing domestic waste management practices with the European Green Deal and the circular economy framework, thus laying the foundations for a more sustainable and resource-efficient future.
CETAP Hosts Roundtables to Support BiH’s Transition to a Circular Economy
As part of the Circular Economy Technical Assistance Project in Bosnia and Herzegovina, CETAP hosted a series of roundtable events from 28–30 April 2026 in Banja Luka, Tuzla and Sarajevo, bringing together stakeholders to discuss the policy, planning and engagement mechanisms needed to support the country’s transition from a linear to a circular economy. Across the three events, participants explored how circularity can be enabled through stronger economic instruments, more ambitious waste management planning, and meaningful stakeholder engagement.
The first roundtable, held in Banja Luka at the Chamber of Commerce, focused on Policy and Economic Instrument Enablers to Facilitate Transition to Circularity. The session examined how fiscal and market-based instruments can help make circular choices more economically attractive, including VAT differentiation for repair, reuse and remanufactured goods, Extended Producer Responsibility fee modulation, taxes on virgin raw materials, subsidies for secondary materials, and the role of public procurement in creating demand for circular products.
The second roundtable also took place in Banja Luka at the Chamber of Commerce and focused on the Circular Supply Chain within a Circular Economy. Discussions also explored how EU policy architecture can support circular supply chains while avoiding unnecessary complexity, market distortion or disproportionate burdens on businesses and consumers.
The third roundtable took place in Tuzla and focused on Waste Management Planning. Participants discussed how Waste Management Plans can evolve from disposal-focused compliance documents into strategic tools for resource circulation, prevention, reuse, repair and material value retention. The event explored the need to align local and regional planning with EU circular economy frameworks, while also addressing practical delivery challenges such as infrastructure investment, data systems, separate collection, funding models, EPR revenues, digitalisation, and the role of municipalities in supporting more advanced waste and resource management systems.
The fourth roundtable, held in Sarajevo, addressed Stakeholder Engagement Mechanisms to Facilitate Transition from a Linear to a Circular Economy. The discussions focused on how public authorities, producers, SMEs, citizens, social enterprises and other actors can move beyond traditional consultation towards genuine co-creation of circular economy strategies. Participants examined how to craft successful public awareness campaign for waste management, and how these can support measurable changes in production, consumption, reuse and recycling behaviours.
Across all four roundtables, CETAP created space for professional discussion, keynote presentations and group sessions led by CETAP experts. Participants considered important questions around who should bear the costs of transition, how public authorities can balance ambition with practical delivery, how SMEs and citizens can be meaningfully involved, and which policy tools are most likely to deliver results in the short and medium term.
The roundtables highlighted that the transition to a circular economy requires more than technical waste management improvements alone. It depends on coherent policy, credible economic incentives, strong local planning, reliable data, institutional cooperation and public participation.
By connecting these themes across the three events, CETAP supported stakeholders in identifying practical pathways for strengthening circular economy implementation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and aligning national progress with EU circular economy objectives.
CETAP Training Strengthens Local Capacity for Circular Waste Collection Systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina
As part of the Circular Economy Technical Assistance Project in Bosnia and Herzegovina, CETAP delivered a dedicated training programme on Waste Collection Schemes, Options and Challenges from 4–8 May, bringing together representatives of local authorities, utility companies and relevant stakeholders to support the development of more effective, financially sustainable and circular-oriented waste collection systems.
The training was designed to strengthen practical knowledge around the planning, design and implementation of modern waste collection systems, with a strong focus on local application in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Across the programme, participants explored how municipalities, cantons and utility companies can move beyond traditional waste collection approaches and begin building systems that support waste prevention, separate collection, recycling and long-term circular economy outcomes.
The session opened with “Tools That Change Behaviour: Engagement Mechanisms That Deliver Real Circular Outcomes”, delivered by Scott Crossett, setting the tone for the day by highlighting the role of public engagement, communication and behaviour change in making waste systems work in practice. This was followed by technical sessions led by Harri Moora and Tomas Thernström, who introduced participants to the current waste management situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including collection coverage, separate collection challenges and the expectations linked to EU approximation.
A key theme of the training was that successful waste collection systems cannot rely on one single model. Participants examined the different roles of kerbside collection, communal collection systems and staffed recycling centres, and considered how each approach can be adapted for different waste fractions and target groups, including single houses, multi-family housing, rural areas and businesses. Through interactive discussions, participants mapped existing local practices and reflected on which systems are most appropriate for their own communities.
The training also placed strong emphasis on the importance of planning. Participants explored how waste collection systems need to be integrated into municipal planning processes from the earliest stages, including spatial plans, development decisions and building permits. Using examples from Sweden, the training demonstrated how waste assessments can help ensure that collection systems are properly designed before infrastructure is built, and reinforced the responsibility of municipalities to define the permitted systems and technical standards required for effective implementation.
Practical examples from Sweden and Estonia were used throughout the programme to show how different collection systems can be designed, communicated and financed in real-world settings. These examples helped participants consider how international good practice can be adapted to the Bosnia and Herzegovina context, particularly in relation to residual waste, food waste, packaging waste, bulky waste, hazardous waste, e-waste, textiles and garden waste.
By the end of the training, participants had developed a clearer understanding of how waste collection systems can be planned, financed, communicated and adapted to local needs. The training provided not only technical guidance, but also a practical framework for decision-making, helping stakeholders identify realistic improvements that can support Bosnia and Herzegovina’s transition towards a more circular economy.
Through activities such as this, CETAP continues to support institutions, municipalities, utility companies and other stakeholders in building the knowledge, systems and cooperation needed to improve waste management and align with EU circular economy objectives.
Working Meetings Held in the Central Bosnia and Posavina Cantons
Within the framework of the CETAP project (Technical Assistance for Enhanced Material Recovery from
Waste through Separate Collection, Reuse, and Recycling based on Circular Economy Principles),
working meetings were held in the municipalities of Dobretići, Travnik, and Kiseljak in the Central Bosnia
Canton, as well as in Domaljevac in the Posavina Canton.
The meetings were attended by representatives of municipalities and public utility companies,
appointed to working groups on waste management, with the aim of collecting relevant data on the
current state of waste management systems at local and cantonal levels.
The focus of the meetings was on analysing existing capacities, infrastructure, collection and disposal
systems, as well as identifying key challenges and needs within the waste management sector. The
collected information will serve as a basis for the development of municipal and cantonal waste
management plans, in line with circular economy principles and applicable legal frameworks.
The CETAP project aims to improve waste management systems by strengthening institutional
capacities, enhancing planning processes, and introducing modern solutions in the field of
environmental protection.
These meetings represent an important step towards the preparation of high-quality and
implementable planning documents that will contribute to more efficient and sustainable waste
management across the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
CETAP Delivers Successful Waste Management Workshops across Bosnia and Herzegovina
Within the CETAP project in Bosnia and Herzegovina, successful workshops were held in Banja Luka, Odžak, Travnik, and Sarajevo in the period from 23 to 26 March 2026. The trainings brought together representatives of local authorities, utility companies, and other relevant stakeholders, with the aim of strengthening capacities for circular waste management.
During the workshops, key topics were covered, including strategic waste management planning, the application of economic instruments and financing mechanisms, as well as the importance of waste data collection and analysis for informed decision-making. Special focus was placed on the development of waste management plans and their implementation at the local level.
Lectures were delivered by international experts from the Stockholm Environment Institute, Tomas Thernström and Harri Moora, as well as local CETAP team experts Elma Kavazović and Amela Lepić, specialists in waste management. Participants expressed satisfaction with the organization and content of the workshops, highlighting their practical value and significance for improving local waste management systems.
Thematic Working Groups Workshop Advances Circular Economy in Bosnia and Herzegovina
On 26 February 2026, stakeholders from across Bosnia and Herzegovina gathered at Hotel Hills in Sarajevo for a full-day Thematic Working Groups (TWG) Workshop, focused on accelerating progress toward improved waste management systems and a stronger circular economy framework.
The workshop brought together government representatives, technical experts, financial specialists and communications leaders to review progress, align on priorities, and strengthen coordination across four critical areas: legislation and policy, waste management operations, finance and economics, and education and public awareness.
Setting the Direction
The workshop opened with an introduction from E. Scott Crossett, CETAP Team Leader, who outlined the objectives of the day: to ensure that reform efforts are practical, coordinated, and aligned with European Union standards, while remaining grounded in the specific needs and realities of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Legislation and Policy
The first session focused on legislative alignment and policy development.
Dr. Ion Nae Musetoiu presented the scope of work related to legislative alignment, outlining the process and stakeholder engagement approach required to harmonise domestic legislation with EU environmental acquis. Emphasis was placed on transparency, consultation, and structured implementation pathways.
Simona Mihaela Ghita followed with a presentation on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes — examining current systems and exploring how future reforms can ensure producers take greater responsibility for the lifecycle of products and packaging.
The session concluded with a moderated discussion, allowing participants to raise practical questions about enforcement, institutional coordination, and implementation timelines.
Waste Management Operations
The second session moved from policy to implementation.
Maria Krasteva presented updated Waste Management Guidelines, highlighting the importance of standardised procedures, clear operational benchmarks, and improved coordination between municipalities and service providers.
Mihail Asenov then introduced key components of Waste Management Plans, outlining how strategic planning at local and entity levels can ensure measurable improvements in waste collection, separation, and treatment.
Discussions focused on bridging the gap between planning and execution — ensuring that operational improvements are realistic, funded, and supported by trained personnel.
Finance and Economics
Dr. Paolo Bacca presented on developing bankable projects and feasibility studies, emphasising the importance of preparing investment-ready documentation that meets international financial institution standards.
Tomas Thernstrom then shared findings and recommendations from Sub-Activity 1.1 on economic analysis, highlighting key financial challenges and opportunities within the waste management sector. And showcased best practices and their results from Sweden.
Education and Public Awareness
The final session addressed behavioural changes and stakeholder education.
Scott Crossett presented the Public Awareness Campaign Strategy, outlining a structured approach to influencing habits, increasing recycling participation, and improving waste separation quality. The strategy emphasises clarity of messaging, community engagement, and long-term behaviour change rather than short-term visibility.
A second presentation by E. Scott Crossett detailed the upcoming series of trainings, stakeholder conferences, and roundtables designed to build institutional capacity and ensure that reform is supported by informed and engaged actors at all levels.
Conclusion
The members of the Thematic Working Group play an integral role in CETAP and their time and feedback is greatly appreciated, the team at CETAP would like to once again thank all of our TWG members for dedicating their time to the session and for their valuable input.
Project CETAP Steering Committee Reviews Fourth Quarterly Progress in Brčko
Project CETAP held its fifth Project Steering Committee (PSC) meeting on 9 December 2025 at Hotel Jelena in Brčko, marking another key milestone in the project’s delivery. The meeting focused on reviewing progress achieved during the fourth reporting period and agreeing priorities for the coming months ahead.
The meeting was formally opened by Mr E. Scott Crossett, the Project Team Leader, and was attended by members of the CETAP team as well as PSC members and observers, including representatives from EU institutions, state and entity ministries, and the Brčko District.
Review of Progress and Reporting Period Activities
The Steering Committee reviewed the productive progress made during the reporting period 1 September – 30 November 2025, including findings from Results-Oriented Monitoring (ROM), and discussed planned activities for 1 December 2025 – 28 February 2026.
A central item was the Draft Study Report, which provides a comprehensive analysis of policy and regulatory frameworks, market analysis, priority waste streams, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes, technological innovation, financial and stakeholder assessments, and opportunities to treat waste as a resource. Practical examples, such as container glass, are included to illustrate market potential.
Legislative Alignment and Compliance Work
Significant progress has been made on legislative alignment with the EU waste acquis. The Project Team has reviewed the Draft Law on Waste Management of the Federation of BiH and prepared targeted recommendations to strengthen alignment with EU requirements.
Compliance Tables have been completed for all relevant administrative bodies under the Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC). Work is ongoing for the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 and the WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU), with all remaining compliance work expected to be finalised in the first half of 2026.
Strategic Planning and Local-Level Engagement
A draft content outline has been developed for the Strategic Planning Guideline and Waste Management Plans. As part of this work, workshops with municipalities in Republika Srpska have commenced and work is progressing with 17 exemplar municipalities in total under the programme running through June 2026.
In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, meetings have been held with selected exemplar cantons, which have submitted formal requests for technical assistance. These cantons are at varying stages of readiness: some require only a review of existing plans, others need updates aligned with planned investments or feasibility studies, while some will require full waste management plans developed from the ground up.
Platforms for Cooperation and Waste Commerce
The Project Steering Committee reviewed progress on the development of both the multi-stakeholder platform and the waste exchange platform.
Meetings have been held with the Chambers of Commerce in the Federation of BiH, Republika Srpska, and Brčko District. While the FBiH and RS chambers already operate suitable digital platforms, the Brčko District chamber will require minor upgrades to meet security standards—support that will be provided by the project. Long-term sustainability was emphasised, with chambers expected to assume responsibility for administration and membership-based financing after project completion.
For the waste exchange platform, both Entity Environment Funds have agreed to host the system within their existing waste information infrastructures, ensuring consistency with EU reporting and data requirements.
Pilot Actions and Public Awareness
During this reporting period, the project delivered three key outputs supporting pilot actions for waste recovery and recycling:
- A waste-category screening report
- A framework for selecting bankable projects
- Project fiches for identified pilot investments
The Project Team is also reviewing data on collected and treated volumes of selected waste streams in close coordination with municipalities and councils. Work continues on EPR schemes and management systems for priority waste streams, including options related to end-of-waste status, glass, and PET.
Progress was also presented on the public awareness campaign, for which the campaign strategy has now been approved. Preparations are underway for launch events scheduled for January 2026.
Mr Crossett closed the meeting by thanking all participants for their continued engagement and constructive contributions. The meeting formally concluded at 15:00.
