Elaboration and implementation of Secondary Raw Materials Policy of the Czech Republic

    Description
    Description
    The Czech Republic will implement a strategy to fulfill a continuous goal: the effective extraction and utilization of secondary raw materials for the purpose of saving non-renewable resources (energy and non-energy raw materials).

    Materials/products on their life-cycle end are reusable in new production processes to produce the same or a different product, or they are used in energy equipment as fuel. The importance of secondary raw materials consists of decreasing of energy and material use in all manufacturing sectors, of the decreasing of emissions from industrial activities and in decreasing the volume of primary raw materials extraction.

    Implementation of the Project/Activity

    Preparation and implementation of a Secondary Raw Materials Policy.
    Creation and implementation of an Action Plan that will set specific goals for execution of the Secondary Raw Materials Policy.
    Information and technical assistance for the Action Plan implementation.
    Support of activities for the greater use of secondary raw materials.
    Initiation of support of the use of secondary raw materials in public procurement.
    Education in the area of consumer awareness regarding the significance of easily recyclable products and products made from secondary raw materials.
    Support of education and awareness in the area of the extraction, processing and use of secondary raw materials.
    Support of research and development in the area of the extraction, processing and use of secondary raw materials.
