on how to operate the information system for circular economy
CEMIS
The main goal of CEMIS is to help consumers understand the benefits of the circular economy and the possibilities for delivery, donation, search, repair or rental of appliances, furniture, things and products.
The opportunities that CEMIS provides for sharing, borrowing and reusing products and materials is the main advantage of the platform, thus the users prevent waste and extend the life cycle of products.
The forum and the announcements of the platform allow the registered users to exchange information with each other and to initiate borrowing or sharing of things and goods.
The CEMIS platform achieves increased awareness by creating a public shared space where each user can provide information about the places for delivering of waste, services available in the neighborhoods, campaigns, initiatives, good practices and even ideas for creating and developing models for a circular economy.
When loading the CEMIS platform, the home page is displayed on the screen where you can select on the map which municipality to be displayed or another section of the platform menu.
The “Current Information” section displays the last published: Announcements, Forum Topics and News, and a direct link to these sections is provided.
A notification for permission or prohibition to determine your location is displayed by clicking on the selected municipality.
If you allow your location to be determined, the map will be loaded centered according to it.
If you refuse to determine your location, the map will be loaded centered for the respective municipal center.
