Starting from tomorrow and until 28 November, actions on waste prevention will take place all over Europe. It is the European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR)!
Have you heard about this initiative?
Already in its 13th edition, the EWWR is the biggest awareness-raising campaign on waste prevention in Europe, involving every year thousands of people among public authorities, citizens, schools, businesses, NGOs, associations. Earlier this month, we introduced you to the EWWR and this year’s thematic focus: circular communities. Have a look here.

The SMART WASTE partners are also doing their share when it comes to waste prevention. Thus, they decided to all participate in the EWWR and organise an action not only to contribute to raise awareness about waste reduction but also to promote the SMART WASTE project.
