SZIKE Environmental & Health Association

The "SZIKE" Environment and Health Protection Association was established as a neighbourhood community organisation in 1995. By 2003 it evolved into one of the most known public benefit think-tank NGO on the field of home composting.
The aim of the SZIKE is to change the present attitude to waste, to shift from end-of-pipe waste management towards source reduction, re-use and recycling.
Our key activities

• Educational and awareness raising publications - posters, flyers, booklets
• "Compost-Master" trainings for individuals and communities, schools and municipalities
