Planica is a symbol of top-tier sports, an unforgettable atmosphere, and breathtaking nature. To ensure future generations can enjoy it as well, sustainability and responsible waste management are key priorities. This year, the waste separation system has been improved, and all visitors are invited to contribute to a greener Planica.
Proper Waste Separation – Three Main Categories
Larger eco-islands have been set up at the venue, clearly marked and strategically placed. Additionally, smaller waste bins are available in key locations to make it easier for fans to dispose of their waste quickly and correctly. Waste is divided into three main groups:
- Mixed Waste: Items that cannot be recycled, such as chewing gum, plastic-coated bags, and greasy napkins.
- Packaging Waste: Includes plastic bottles, cans, Tetra Paks, clean plastic bags, and bottle caps.
- Biodegradable Waste: Food scraps, fruit peels, coffee grounds, and paper napkins.
To keep the venue clean and ensure smooth operations, Komunala Kranjska Gora collects and empties all bins daily.
Eco Helpers – Here to Assist
Sorting waste correctly can sometimes be challenging, which is why eco helpers—specially trained volunteers—will be present at the venue. They will assist visitors in proper waste disposal and provide information on sustainable practices at the event. If you’re unsure where to dispose of something, don’t hesitate to ask them!
Sustainability Info Boards – Useful Information in One Place
This year, sustainability info boards will be introduced at key locations, displaying eco-island locations and other green initiatives. These efforts aim to enhance transparency around sustainability measures and encourage visitors to act responsibly.
Bring It, Take It – Keep Planica Clean
Although an efficient waste separation system is in place, visitors are encouraged to minimize waste altogether. Packaging and other materials brought to the venue can be taken back home for proper disposal. This collective effort helps reduce waste at the event and contributes to a cleaner environment.
Planica is our home for unforgettable sporting moments. Let’s ensure it remains clean and environmentally friendly.
Thank you for sorting waste and caring for the future!
