As part of this initiative, the &#8220;Restoring Value in the Circular Economy&#8221; project seeks to facilitate the transition from the traditional linear model of &#8220;take-use-dispose&#8221; to a regenerative circular economy.<\/p>\n<p>Implemented by Rilindja e Gjelb\u00ebr (formerly Let\u2019s Do It Peja), this project focuses primarily on the textile industry, promoting sustainability, responsible consumption, and innovative solutions for recycling and reuse across Kosovo.<\/p>\n<p>Aligned with the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans and the Sofia Declaration, Kosovo is taking significant steps towards a more sustainable circular economy. The Reko project supports this transition by building a functional circular economy ecosystem, engaging key stakeholders, including businesses, civil society, and citizens.<\/p>\n<h3>Our Partners<\/h3>\n<p>We are working in collaboration with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Balkan Green Foundation,<\/li>\n<li>7 Arte,<\/li>\n<li>EC Ma Ndryshe,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>which play a crucial role in raising awareness about sustainable practices and advancing green policies in Kosovo.
