How Europe will tackle the issue of waste and, specifically, the collection? Can the recycling help to curb climate change? The current economic crisis may affect UE policies? Have we the right tools to deal with the situation today?
These are the topics addressed by the conference: Selective collection of municipal waste - Practical aspects and best practices in Europe, organized by ACR+ (Association of Cities and Regions for Recycling and sustainable use of resources) in St. Julian's, Malta, from 7 to October 9.
Two days of work organized by WestServ Malta (the Maltese public company, which deals with the integrated cycle of waste) and ACR+, which on this occasion will also hold its annual general meeting.
The meetings are addressed particularly at those with responsibility for waste management, political or technical, members of NGOs or associations, wishing to apply or to anticipate the new regulations, improve waste management by developing the best technical solutions, improving service to citizens and strengthening their communication effectiveness.
The conference will address various aspects of the collection of municipal waste, deepening the case of islands and tourist cities; experts from various EU countries will present some best practices in this sector. Also planned a focus on EU enlargement to new member States, with a reflection on the integration of policies related to the integrated cycle of waste.
Registrations are still open: for more information, visit the website.
ACR+ is an international network of members who share the goal of promoting sustainable consumption of resources and waste management through the prevention at source, the reuse and the recycling. The action of the network is based on three fundamental principles: sustainable development; the prevention and the recovery of waste; the partnership between public authorities.
