The Clean Shkumbini Initiative tackles plastic pollution in Albania’s Shkumbin River, impacting the Librazhd and Prenjas municipalities. Despite regulations, poor enforcement and low public awareness contribute to high plastic use, especially due to the lack of sustainable alternatives.
Current waste management systems are inadequate, with limited recycling infrastructure and low community engagement. The initiative addresses these gaps through education, community involvement, and promotion of reusable solutions.
Workshops, cultural events, and awareness campaigns support long-term change, aiming to build a cleaner, more sustainable future by connecting regulation, local context, and collective action.
