PUC “Gradska čistoća” from Novi Pazar uses a multifunctional machine for the maintenance of public green areas to process wood and organic waste collected on agricultural farms and makes wood chips, which is used for operating of the city’s biomass heating plant. In this way, the use of fossil fuels for heating, and thus the air pollution in Novi Pazar, is reduced. The solution foresees the training of members of vulnerable groups to work with the new machine for making wood chips, which will make them more employable in new, green workplaces.
