The transition to a green economy represents an opportunity for the development of new green technologies and services, the creation of green jobs, more efficient management of natural resources, the promotion and development of Slovenian knowledge. It is an opportunity to grow and strengthen the international competitiveness of the economy while reducing environmental risks that negatively affect the quality of life and well-being of people. It is crucial to develop circular models of the economy, which, however, require an integrated and integrated approach, with the key being the participation of all relevant stakeholders. We already have many examples of good practice in Slovenia, from which we also want to learn. The great potential for more efficient operation and achievement of the set goals of the transition to a green economy is therefore in strengthening the cooperation of all stakeholders in our company to develop innovative solutions.
More information on the transition to a green economy with exposed development potentials for a green, smart and efficient economy is available at www.vlada.si/zeleno .

Re.Do reusable brand – unique Slovenian products with a recycling signature
The driving force behind the Re.Do collective is Petra Doljak and Urša Skumavc. Both from different fields combine their knowledge and passion in a team that not only creates beautiful and useful fashion accessories, but also with their help expands the imagination and at the same time makes us aware of the importance and growing need for reuse today. Thus, the girls organize workshops where we can learn to reuse objects that we no longer use. Each part is made entirely by hand, from 100% reusable materials. They provide green marketing services for companies by turning their waste into business gifts or promotional tools. Within the Institute I (us), they research, develop and connect creative individuals, craftsmanship, experience and, in cooperation with companies, organizations and customers, create unique lines of sustainable, environmentally and consumer-friendly products.
