Objective
The main objective of this project is to move forward the current waste management
practices into a circular economy motto, demonstrating the value of integrating and
validating a set of 20 eco-innovative solutions that cover all the waste value chain. The
benefits of these solutions will be enhanced by a holistic waste data management
methodology, and will be demonstrated in 4 complementary urban areas in Europe.
 4 European countries
• Cascais (C); Portugal
• Zamudio (Z); Spain
• Seveso (S); Italy
• Halandri (H); Greece

Specific objectives
Objective
How?
SO1
Reduce the generation of waste
Implementation of cost-effective prevention campaigns and the promotion of
cooperative activities to boost the reuse and more sustainable consumption
models.
SO2
Promote the long term behavioural changes of
waste generators (citizens and industries)
Fostering transparency, citizen empowerment and engagement
SO3
Improve the integral waste management services
Reducing their overall costs and GHG emissions
SO4
Eliminate the primary waste deposited into landfills
Maximize waste reuse and recycling
SO5
Promote the creation of new government and
business models
Moving towards a circular economy
SO6
Implement pilot activities in Z (Spain), H (Greece), S
(Italy) and C (Portugal)
Testing and demonstrating the methodologies and technologies deployed under
real conditions
SO7
Facilitate the transferability to the market of the
new proposed eco-innovative solutions
Creation of a taylor business plan for each exploitable result in the project
SO8
Disseminate the project results
By defining a Communication and Dissemination strategy

Pilots
Full online monitoring (real-time characterisation in
dustbin and lorries) and decision taking information
system connected to the FIWARE platform (short and
long term planning)
Exploitation of biowaste sources (food and nappies)
Citizens’ involvement: restaurants (collective actions for
organic waste), Students and citizens (Serious Games and
OER), Consumers (Apps), and citizens (awareness and
prevention campaigns)
Zero waste ecosystems. A nursery

Pilots
Automatic smart optimisation of the waste collection
(real time traffic and alert system)
Implementation of economic instruments: PAYT with
combination of bin identification system and chamber
system
Citizens’ involvement: Citizens (awareness and
prevention campaigns, Apps) and managers (education
by serious games)
