Guidelines for local policy makers for mainstreaming of URBAN-WASTE strategies into Waste Management Plans

Updated on 21.06.2024

This guideline can be used as separated forms for seven different themes: avoiding waste production; reuse and prevention; avoiding litter; sorting into different fractions and recycling; biowaste and food waste; used cooking oils and environmental certifications. Those forms aim to describe all the national regulation on those themes so that local stakeholders can get legal tools to implement and support the proposed URBAN-WASTE measures on waste management at their local scale. Economical guidelines have also been developed through that deliverable. They aim to make local stakeholders aware of the costs and saving costs generated by the measures implementation at their local scale; and can be used as decision making tools locally. Besides, for the measures proposed by the URBAN-WASTE project, a business model has been developed.
