URBANWASTE welcomed the project’s 11 pilot cities and regions, other 16 project partners and invitees and guest from the European institutions, various European industry associations.

NGOs and research institutes, as well as numerous other cities and regions came to hear ideas and got inspired by what URBAN-WASTE has laid down in the area of waste management in tourism. Apart from highlighting the roles of cities and regions in the transition to circular economy, there was also the signing ceremony of the Charter of Commitments, URBAN-WASTE’s very own campaign and initiative targeting cities and regions and acknowledging their efforts in making tourism more sustainable.

This time it will be:  “Urban Waste”. The project will develop eco-innovative and gender-sensitive waste prevention and management strategies in cities with high levels of tourism in order to reduce the urban waste production and improve municipal waste management.

In our specific case the first step was to install a food waste tracker in our kitchen by the researcher, Dr. Mattias Eriksson, from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Department of Energy and Technology.

The manual input is working fine and our staff is trying out the device  until a bluetooth connection is delivered.

We will keep you informed about the progress!
