The Federal Ministry of Environment and Tourism, with support from UNDP, has launched the development of the Federal Waste Management Plan (FWMP) 2025–2030, an implementation document of the Federal Environmental Protection Strategy 2022–2032. The project is being carried out by the consortium Enova d.o.o. Sarajevo and Cener 21.
The Plan is built on a participatory approach, engaging cantonal representatives, mayors, municipal leaders, and public utility companies to identify challenges and solutions. Consultations held in 2025 provided a comprehensive overview of the sector and informed the draft Plan.
The FWMP sets clear guidelines for establishing a sustainable, integrated waste management system in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its ambition is to drive systemic change by moving from a linear disposal model to a circular economy that prioritizes prevention, reuse, recycling, and the valorization of waste as a resource.
By laying the foundations for circular practices, the Plan aims to reduce resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, while delivering broad benefits for the environment, the economy, and society.
More information on the consultation process is available on the Facebook page of the Government of FBiH.
