The first Transnational Learning Journey of INERTWASTE took partners and their stakeholders to the Navarra region.

Organised by the Government of Navarra and GAN-NIK, it focused on regulatory frameworks for sustainable inert waste management. It aimed to:

  • Understand the regulatory framework for the valorisation of inert and inorganic waste from industrial processes and from the construction sector in different regions.
  • Share good practices and innovative approaches from 4 different countries in the implementation of public policies for the efficient use of resources.
  • Identify strategies for enhancing valorisation of inert and inorganic waste (focused in Navarra/Spain, with input from other regions).
  • Facilitate knowledge exchange, enhance capacity building and foster networking and collaboration.
