Plastic waste is one of today’s most pressing global environmental challenges. In 2021 alone, the European Union generated 16.13 million tons of plastic waste – and only 6.56 million tons were recycled. A significant portion of this includes single-use packaging that ends up in landfills or, worse, in nature.

At **Skaza**, we recognize the urgency of this issue – and we don't stop at words. Our mission is to extend the life of plastic by reintegrating it into the circular loop. That’s why we launched **Project New Life** – an initiative that allows you to return your used Skaza products, which we recycle and reuse. As a thank-you for your contribution, you’ll receive a **50% discount** on Essential composters in our online store.

**How does it work?**

👉 Carefully clean the products that are no longer usable.  
👉 Ensure that all returned products are indeed Skaza products.  
👉 Pack them and fill out the return form [HERE >>>](https://si.skaza.com/blogs/novo-zivljenje/novo-zivljenje-iz-starega-ustvari-novo)  
👉 You’ll receive an email from the delivery service with a pickup date.  
👉 Once your package arrives at Skaza, we’ll inspect the items for cleanliness and eligibility.  
👉 You’ll then receive an email with a **50% discount code** for Essential composters (the code is single-use and non-transferable).  
👉 Meanwhile, you’re welcome to take advantage of all ongoing offers – your returned products will already be on their way to a new life.

**What can you return?**

Products included in the project are: **Organko composters, Organko Daily bins, Pick & Go sets, plates, cups, cutlery, pitchers**, and other Skaza items. All of these are **recycled and reused to create new sustainable solutions**.

**Our step toward a stronger circular economy**

One of our key development directions is the establishment of a new plastic compounding line – a major step toward **greater material efficiency and supporting the circular economy**. This technology allows us to reuse technically clean production residues – including items from Project New Life, startup materials, and off-spec products – and process them into high-quality secondary raw materials.

**Niko Medved**, Deputy Director at Skaza, adds: *“Our products prove that waste can become a source of opportunity, and that innovation is not only about developing something new – it’s also about acting responsibly with what already exists. With this innovation, we send a clear message: the future can be sustainable – if we create it together.”*

**Recycle. Save. Contribute.**

To date, we’ve saved over **150 tons of plastic** from landfills. Every returned item helps close the loop – which means less waste, less environmental burden, and more responsible production. **Project New Life** is not just a recycling initiative – it's an invitation to co-create a circular economy that preserves resources, supports innovation, and builds a better tomorrow.

**Want to take part in Project New Life?**  
Fill out the product return form [HERE >>>](https://si.skaza.com/blogs/novo-zivljenje/novo-zivljenje-iz-starega-ustvari-novo)  
And ensure your old products don’t become a problem, but part of the solution.
