Sorting will be carried out by a processing
line consisting of sub-machines which
will ensure the execution of individual
technological steps. The objective of
the whole process is to sort the waste
into individual products which, after
mechanical treatment by pressing
or shredding, will be sent to further
specialised processing facilities such as
recycling lines, composting plants or
energy sources. The inspiration came
from the most modern technological
lines which already work reliably in some
European countries such as Norway,
Poland and Spain. The CEVYKO project
is built on three basic pillars: state-
of-the-art technological equipment
for waste treatment, continuity and
compliance with the complex changes
in the legislation of the Czech Republic
and the European Union, and a future in
responsible and modern municipal waste
management.
The shareholders of CEVYKO, a.s.
are the Statutory Town of Havířov,
ASOMPO, a.s. (which associates forty-
five municipalities and towns in the Nový
Jičín Region), and the Association for
Municipal Waste Management, z.s. for
municipalities and towns in the regions
of Karviná and Nový Jičín. The principle
of the Municipal Waste Management
Association is that through it other
municipalities and towns from a wider
area can join CEVYKO. Intensive
negotiations are currently underway with
other municipalities that want to jointly
address the issue of waste management
in the longer term than the election
period. The meaning of the project and
the foresight of the involved shareholders
to changes in legislative requirements is
also proved by the fact that this project
has the maximum possible support from
the Moravian-Silesian Region, which
follows the waste management plan.
In addition to was te treatment, the CEVYKO
project brings an educational centre not
only for primary, secondary and university
students in the field of waste management
but also for the general public. The project
has a vision and strategy to collaborate in
future with university research sectors
dealing with waste issues and the industry
sectors focused on science, research and
innovation in this promising and important
area. Scientific and innovative activities
will be closely linked with the business
sector not only within the Moravian-
Silesian Region so that the results of
research are put into practice.
We want to be a leader in municipal
waste treatment as well as in science
and research. This additional added value
will support business and employment in
the city of Havířov.

the Introducon of a Circular Economy
The waste management sector, like the energy sector, is undergoing a turbulent transformaon.
The changes in the area of waste management are a result of a European Union regulaon
iniave. The town of Havířov has reacted to these changes in advance and, through CEVYKO,
a.s., is implemenng a project that will result in the construcon of a modern and ecient
technological facility for the processing of municipal waste.
