Abstract
Serbia is one of the leading countries in the world in terms of raspberry and blackberry production. Production is focused on the cultivation of raspberries and blackberries for the purpose of the fruit selling, so large amounts of leaves of these two plants remain unused on plantations or are burned. In tradicional medicine, the healing effects of raspberry leaves and blackberry leaves are known, but due to the large production, it is impossible to use all the leaves for these purposes. Newer research indicates numerous possibilities of application of raspberry leaves and blackberry leaves. An important aspect is the use of raspberries and blackberries that grow near the mine. In addition to being used in medicine and pharmacy, extracts can be used as metal corrosion inhibitors. Depleted plant mass that can be used for biosorption, as a binding agent and starting component of cellulose production. Obtaining the extract instead of burning the leaves fulfills the first condition of the Green Agenda, which is decarbonization and reduction of industrial emissions. Environmental pollution is reduced with a focus on air quality. Better energy efficiency is achieved by an adequate selection of extragens. The circular economy is achieved by a system in which production resources (fruit and leaves) are encouraged, and waste, waste emission and energy outflow are significantly reduced. In addition to encouraging the economy and sustainable plant food systems that are characteristic of the Western Balkans, protection and investment in ecosystems is achieved.
