BEACON EVENT: Circular economy and urban waste management: let´s start . circulating in it. What must change, how and when
Organised by ATIA-ISWA ITALIA and ACR+ (Association of Cities and Regions for Recycling and sustainable Resources management) with the sponsorship of CONAI (Italian National Packing Consortium), FISE Assoambiente (Association of Environmental Services Companies) and UTILITALIA (Italian Association of Public Utility and Environmental Services)
About Circular Economy (CE) and the application of its principles to municipal waste management there is much talk and on several occasions. In general, in the statements made by representatives of institutions, organizations, companies and stakeholders the prevailing approach is ´legal / bureaucratic´ In fact, we often hear: ´should be changed some directives´, ´we have to transpose some directives´, ´we must issue some decrees´ ... and so on. Furthermore, with regard to municipal waste management, the prevailing theme in the current debate is the separate collection. No doubt the collection is a fundamental step to start the virtuous circle that is the basis of CE. However, given that to apply the principles of CE it is of course necessary to take into account both economy and sustainability, it is also essential to focus attention on the economic and environmental implications of the application of CE principles to all stages of the concerned industrial sectors. Thanks to the contribution of experts working in key International and European Institutions, Associations and Companies, the conference will shed light on these implications into the entire system of municipal waste management . There will also be illustrated some - national and European - examples and case studies of real application of the CE in the waste sector.
