Advancing MuNicipal Circlular Economy – ADVANCE

ADVANCE aims to assess the current food waste management practices in selected municipalities and SMEs in the HORECA sector.

Περίληψη Έργου

On March 11, 2020, the European Commission adopted a new Circular Economy Action Plan. Regarding waste management, the focus is on avoiding waste and transforming it into a high-quality market for secondary raw materials. The Action Plan will set an EU-wide, harmonised model for the separate collection of waste. The selective collection can be carried out by the municipality and the service is addressed not only to households but also to commercial businesses such as hotels, restaurants and cafés.

The project aims to: assess the current food waste management practices in selected municipalities and SMEs in the HORECA sector; compare the assessment results above with the best practices in the relevant fields; develop a concrete set of Circularity Indicators that will be used to describe both the current and the future descriptio-monitoring of food waste management; assess the gap between the baseline assessment and the requirements posed by the EU Circular Economy Action Plan using the Circularity Indicators; develop a Roadmap and develop a step-by-step methodology to implement the EU Circular Economy Action Plan requirements regarding food waste; present all the above as training/educational materials and implement training courses in selected municipalities and SMEs in the HORECA sector; and develop an Open Education Resource online platform which will include & host all the above.
