A user-focused digital solution designed to inform and engage communities in Kosovo on circular economy practices.

Brief

REKO (Circular Economy Kosovo) is a digital platform developed for the NGO Rilindja e Gjelbër as part of an initiative funded by the EECSOK project, implemented through the Community Development Fund (CDF) and supported by the Embassy of Sweden. The platform is designed to raise awareness around circular economy principles—specifically within the textile industry—and to serve as a knowledge hub for stakeholders, educators, and the broader public.

With an increasing need to share best practices, promote sustainable innovation, and amplify Kosovo’s role in the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans, the REKO platform aims to deliver relevant, educational content through a modern, accessible, and visually engaging interface.

The Challenge

Rilindja e Gjelbër required a comprehensive web solution that could:

  • Educate users on the fundamentals and benefits of circular economy
  • Showcase real-world examples and practices from Kosovo and globally
  • Deliver engaging multimedia content in a user-friendly format
  • Serve as a scalable and maintainable platform for ongoing updates
  • Support stakeholder engagement through infographics and resources

Our Solution

Kutia designed and developed REKO, a tailored web platform dedicated to circular economy education and awareness. Built with longevity and accessibility in mind, REKO includes:

  • Custom UI/UX Design: Clean, responsive interface optimized for web and mobile use
  • Content Management System (CMS): Enables the Rilindja e Gjelbër team to manage and publish content independently
  • Business Directory: A curated section showcasing businesses in Kosovo that follow circular economy principles, helping users discover and connect with sustainable initiatives.
  • Interactive Infographics: Data visualizations and learning tools to simplify complex concepts
  • Multimedia Integration: Videos, graphics, and downloadable resources to engage a broad audience
  • Scalable Architecture: Prepared for future content, new modules, and potential language expansion
  • Ongoing Collaboration: Quarterly check-ins and support throughout the full project lifecycle

The visual identity of REKO reinforces its mission: clean design, green-focused color palette, and an intuitive layout for maximum engagement.

Outcome

REKO is well-positioned to become a powerful educational resource and catalyst for change. It provides a central space where circular economy efforts in Kosovo can be shared, learned from, and amplified—especially in the textile sector.

By combining meaningful content with a user-centric interface, REKO sets the stage for long-term engagement, making circular practices more accessible to communities, businesses, and institutions alike.
