Welcome to the island of Krk, where luxurious villas with pools meet innovative sustainability! Krk is not only a destination with breathtaking beaches and crystal-clear sea but also a pioneer in ecological waste management. We want the guests of our exclusive villas to feel connected to nature while enjoying comfort. Discover how Krk’s "Eco Island Krk" model protects the environment and creates a better future for everyone.
A Success Story: The Eco-System on Krk
Since 2005, the island of Krk has stood out as the first in Croatia to implement a comprehensive ecological waste management system. Through careful waste separation and innovative solutions like the "Door-to-Door" system, residents and visitors contribute to a cleaner environment. Each house has its own bins for biodegradable waste, paper, glass, plastic, and residual waste. In areas where this system is not feasible, public bins are available at more than 90 locations.
To adapt to the narrow streets of historic town centers, underground and semi-underground bins have been installed, enabling easy waste separation even in challenging locations. Additionally, the island features seven special collection points (POSAM) where residents and guests can dispose of bulky and hazardous waste free of charge.
Sustainability in the Service of Tourism
In the summer months, when visitor numbers peak, the island generates about 12,000 tons of municipal waste. Through diligent separation, over 60% of waste is recycled, leading to 20% lower CO2 emissions. Recycling and composting prevent about 83% of potential harmful gas emissions – a testament to Krk’s commitment to nature conservation.
At the modern recycling center, sorted waste is further processed and prepared for recycling, including paper, glass, aluminum, plastic, and other materials. This way, Krk not only preserves its natural beauty but also reduces its per capita carbon footprint by 22% compared to the rest of Croatia.
Eco Actions: For Cleaner Beaches and Seas
If you love nature, you’ll be thrilled by the many eco-actions organized by local communities. Beach and seabed cleanups, carried out in collaboration with diving clubs, provide opportunities for connection and raising awareness about the importance of a clean environment.
