 Thematic session 2

Increasing waste generation trends and strict EU regulatory frameworks for waste management are putting municipalities and regions as policy competent authorities under pressure, as their own waste-related policies and infrastructure solutions need to change and adapt. 

One of the main principles of waste management in the European Union is the waste hierarchy: waste prevention, reuse, recycling. The upper levels of the waste pyramid can also be implemented in form of circular systems where resources stay as long as possible in the biogenic and technical use cycles. This session intends to inspire public bodies with solutions and approaches tried out and implemented on the ground by featuring available resources and services provided by the Platform for all levels of the waste pyramid.
