ACR+

The kick-off meeting of the project WINPOL – Waste Management Intelligent Systems and Policies – took place in Gijón on 5-6 September 2018, hosted by ACR+ member EMULSA, the municipal company of urban environment services of Gijón and lead partner of WINPOL. During a period of 54 months, the project partners will focus on improving regional and local waste management policies by promoting intelligent equipment and innovative planning derived from it.

ACR+ together with its member Brussels Environment as well as Zero Waste Europe is organising an international conference “On the Path to Zero Waste Cities: The Case of Organic Waste”. As part of the European Week for Waste Reduction it will take place on 19 November 2018 in Brussels at the BEL Conference Centre.

Five new factsheets have been published in the Circular Europe Network’s database by ACR+, overviewing good practices implemented in European heritage cities: Ibiza, Florence, Córdoba, Bergen and Mallorca.

The LIFE SMART Waste project has developed and published a new Horizon Scanning Toolkit that is designed to help environmental regulators to build an early warning system for emerging developments in the waste sector to protect the industry from future criminal enterprise.
