FROM AWARENESS TO ACTION

Born from a shared commitment to sustainability, EU-WASTE began as a transnational initiative uniting municipalities and organizations across Europe to tackle the challenges of urban and food waste management.

The project seeks to:

Establish an online platform for communication, training, and dissemination on circular economy topics.

Raise awareness among adult citizens about waste reduction, reuse, and recycling.

Foster collaboration among local authorities, citizens, and stakeholders in waste management.

Promote environmental education and active citizenship for a more sustainable and inclusive Europe.
