The Football Association of Wales has introduced its new action plan, aiming to challenge current matchday mobility principles and improve waste management. This initiative is part of the broader ACCESS project, with various sports organisations publishing similar plans
ACR+ member ORDIFsupported a study to improve the network of glass recycling bins in Île-de-France for better accessibility. The aim is to enhance glass collection performance by capturing lost glass and contribute to achieving regional waste reduction and recycling targets. As a result, an infographic has been developed to raise awareness about the importance of glass recycling and its challenges.
In 2021, glass collection performances in Île-de-France struggled to reach 21 kg per inhabitant, and these performances have remained stagnant for about a decade. Simultaneously, there remains an average of 14 kg of glass per inhabitant in the residual household waste of the people of Île-de-France. In fact, more than 170 000 tonnes of this highly recyclable material are mostly incinerated each year in Île-de-France.
