Environmental remediation efforts are currently active in Croatia and Montenegro to address various waste issues. In Gospić, Croatia, workers at the former PPK Velebit site have begun covering buried waste with a green impermeable geomembrane to prevent leachate formation, a step intended to precede final waste removal.

In Montenegro, near Orjen Nature Park, a project supported by a 50,000 euro grant has cleared 60 tons of illegally dumped tires from Duboki do, with approximately 250 tons remaining. Meanwhile, in Velika Gorica, Croatia, prosecutors are investigating Max Logistika and two individuals for allegedly accumulating and burying construction, asbestos, and metal waste in the Velika Kosnica area over a 12-year period. This suspected illegal activity occurred in water pumping zones, posing risks to groundwater and local ecosystems.
