Background Due to the changes in environmenthal laws:  apears lack of collecting model of animal origin waste from small producers(retailers, restaurants,fisheries, homes)  municipalities are accented as responsible for managing all kinds of waste  low awarness of importance of primary selection of waste  In Ćuprija existing government enterprise for incineratin of animal origin waste

Situation when project started Public communal enterprise is reorganized and sufficiency of employees created a need to preserve working places Lack of developed model of systematic manipulation on small amounts of animal origin waste Endangered public health due to possibility of developing epidemic diseases Low awareness of importance of primary selection of waste and of it’s impact on environment
