ACR+ was delighted to host representatives of municipal and regional authorities, consultants, and other waste practitioners to discuss pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) and know-as-you-throw (KAYT) schemes during a day-long seminar. Organised under the recently launched project LIFE REthinkWASTE – which explores how to design municipal tariff systems in order to improve waste governance – the seminar gave participants the opportunity to learn about noteworthy cases in PAYT and KAYT that have been carried out in recent years. The event took place in Brussels and was streamed live on YouTube and can be viewed at this link.
