| Abstract |
Research background: Slovakia is currently considered a country with sufficient high-quality water resources. However, it faces extensive pollution of these vital assets, coupled with inadequate water management practices, which is becoming a severe problem in relation to their sustainability. The adverse repercussions of water resource pollution resonate directly through the diminished quality of life for the populace and the deterioration of broader environmental components. Thus, the imperative to address this issue is undeniably urgent. Purpose of the article: The paper is oriented to evaluating the possibilities of using the floating trash barriers as a product of the circular economy in curbing water resource pollution. Methods: The study encompasses experimental investigations into utilisation of the floating trash barriers, exploring its role as a sustainable solution for water management. Findings & Value added: The floating trash barrier itself is a product of the circular economy, as it uses waste (waste material) in its production, and at the same time its function is environmentally beneficial for society. This research adds value by demonstrating its multifaceted contributions to society and the environment. |
