Zhasyl Damu JSC has implemented a project to introduce separate collection of solid household waste (hereinafter referred to as MSW) on the territory of the State National Nature Parks "Kolsai Kolderi" and "Sharyn" (hereinafter referred to as GNPP).
The main goal of the project is to increase the level of ecological culture and environmental awareness, as well as create conditions for the formation of a positive pattern of behavior in relations with the environment through the formation, implementation and promotion of a new concept of visitors' attitude to natural parks – "clean tourism".
JSC "Zhasyl Damu", within the framework of the concept of information and image support, organized training for the staff of the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs, in order to form the correct behavior among the visitors of the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs regarding the collection and sorting of solid waste. The purpose of the training was to enable the staff of the GNPP to communicate the basic principles of the waste management program in an accessible and effective manner to visitors.
In this regard, containers for separate collection of solid waste in the amount of 34 units and fandomates in the amount of 3 units were installed in the GNPP.
Additionally, in order to improve the environmental culture, campaigning was carried out on separate waste collection, informational banners were posted, relevant animated videos were released, and the GNPP was provided with biodegradable packages in the amount of 200 thousand pieces for further distribution to visitors.
The concept of the project is that containers for separate waste collection are located only at the entrance/exit of the GNPP. Upon entering the park, the visitor receives a biodegradable bag in which he collects the generated waste during the visit and throws it into specially installed containers at the exit, dividing it into fractions. For the convenience of visitors, fandomates for receiving plastic bottles are installed in the parks, which allow not only to properly sort waste, but also to receive bonuses in the form of discounts on services in most stores. This approach is aimed at increasing awareness and responsibility of each person for the preservation of natural heritage.
