The European Week for Waste Reduction

19-27/11/2011

The European Week for Waste Reduction is a 3 year project supported by the LIFE+ Programme of the European Commission until 2011. Who is the Week for?

  • For those public authorities across Europe that have competence in the field of waste prevention that responded to a Call for Interest launched by the official partners of the project. These EWWR Organisers act as coordinators of the Week in the area covered by their authority, thereby ensuring the promotion of the EWWR on their territory, as well as the registration and validation of actions proposed by various Project Developers.
  • For Project Developers interested in carrying out awareness raising actions on the subject of waste prevention during the Week, with the aim of informing the greatest possible number of citizens. These Project Developers register their proposals for EWWR actions through the national, regional or local Organiser covering their area.
  • For European citizens who participate in actions set up by Project Developers during the Week and learn about the kind of waste reduction habits that they can take up in everyday life.
