Use of information and data in the waste field

On 14 May 2019 the WINPOL project organised the first thematic seminar. Hosted by Snaga, the public waste management company of the City of Maribor, it focused on the collection and use of information to optimise waste management. The seminar gathered project partners and their local stakeholders to exchange relevant good practices existing on their territories, during three sessions related to the use of data for the optimisation of collection, for improving analysis and decision-making, and for providing feedback to the citizens. Additional experiences were brought by external experts invited by ACR+, the Advisory Partner of the project.

The meeting also included two site-visits to Snaga’s installations: the automated sorting plant for communal waste and one of the three collection centres located in the city of Maribor.
