The Island of Krk is the national pioneer in waste management. Since 2005 we have well-organised waste separation and collection and recycling. We are among the European best, with over 55% of waste separated at the collection, and our objective is to reach 80% of separated waste in 2022. Good cooperation and effort of both businesses and individuals are required to achieve the 2022 goal.
Marina Punat is a proud member of the Eco Island Krk initiative. We have 10 locations for separated waste collection within the marina, and there are additional four spots with containers for special and dangerous waste. This includes separate containers for engine oil and everything oil-related (residual engine oil, oil containers, oily packaging, used fuel and oil filters, oily rags and sponges, as well as oily bilge water), containers for old batteries, electric parts and electronic equipment. Each type of dangerous waste should be disposed of in the proper bin.
SEPARATE YOUR WASTE - just like at home!
No matter how careful we are, it is inevitable for all of us to leave some waste behind that someone else will have to pick, which is why we need to do the same for others. The idea of the “Blue Bag” initiative is founded in that solidarity principle - encouraging us to pick up the waste washed out on the shores. Though we cannot determine where it comes from, seaborn trash litters our beaches. Suppose each of us would fill one blue bag with that debris. In that case, we could significantly reduce the amount of waste floating around and help the joint efforts to clean Adriatic shores. Grab your blue bag at our Reception and bring it on your boat trip or excursion. When in nature, pick any plastic, glass or other waste you encounter on land or sea. Once you fill your bag, leave it next to the general waste container, and we will make sure it is collected and properly disposed of or recycled.

SEPARATE YOUR WASTE - just like at home!
- When at the boat, make sure you separate right away plastic, metal and glass from general waste.
- Dispose of old batteries (AA, AAA etc.) into the dedicated battery container at the Nautical store.
- Dispose of chemicals and other dangerous waste, remaining in appropriate containers after boat work and repairs.
- Pick debris after your dog or garbage after your child. We will make sure that all the waste is regularly collected and recycled.
