WINPOL

In recent years, technology and innovation have reached the field of waste. They offer an excellent opportunity to improve policies aiming to minimise waste generation and reach resource efficiency. However, the degree of introduction of innovative equipment and practices varies significantly from one territory to another. This is why the WINPOL project was launched. Its aim? Improving policies for waste management so that they increasingly foster and promote the use of intelligent equipment and planning derived of it, significantly contributing to waste minimisation in European cities and regions, through improved management procedures and awareness campaigns. The 9 project partners joined forces to mainstream the use of intelligent equipment and related waste management policies on their territories and beyond. They did so in two different phases: Phase 1 - “Interregional Learning” (ended in November 2020)
During that phase, partners identified over 30 good practices, exchange experiences, conducted study visits and elaborated action plans to transfer selected good practices and experiences to their territories. The good practices identified have been compiled in a guide, available to all. Phase 2 - “Monitoring of the Action Plan Implementation”
This phase focused on the implementation of the action plans produced with the aim of improving partners’ policy instruments.
