European Week for Waste Reduction
[17-25 Nov 2012]

>> The idea of the European Week for Waste Reduction is to put forward the concept of waste prevention during a whole week by coordinating awareness-raising actions organised by a variety of actors (administrations/public authorities, associations/NGOs, businesses/industry, educational establishments, etc.) and targeted at a variety of audiences (the general public, employees, schoolchildren, etc.).

>> The European Week for Waste Reduction aims to:

Raise awareness about the waste reduction strategies & about policies of the EU and its Member States
Promote sustainable waste reduction actions across Europe
Highlight the work accomplished by various actors, through concrete examples of waste reduction
Encourage changes in the behaviour of Europeans (consumption, production) in everyday life

>> The fourth European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR), will take place on 17-25 November 2012 in various European locations.
