5. Objective 3
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

6. 4 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

8. Ecosolutions 5

9. Pilots 6
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

10. Pilots 6
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)

11. Pilots 6
Optimize waste collection. Door-to-door system (short-term planning)
Decision taking information system connected to the
FIWARE platform (long-term planning)
Implementation of different economic instruments (PAYT
and incentives) to improve the reuse and recycling rates
Zero waste events (eco-parties)
Citizens’ involvement: citizens (education by Serious Games), awareness and information campaigns (reusable nappies), mutual learning (Apps, social networks)
