MED-InA: guide on developing a zero waste strategy

The MED-InA project proposed to develop and roll out a methodology for a “Zero Waste” public policy adapted to Mediterranean cities as an exemplary and participatory approach for waste reduction, reuse and recycling. The Zero Waste approach offers an alternative option to municipalities, aiming to reduce the amount of waste that is generated through prevention measures, such as reuse, recycling, and the development of local, community-centered activities.
This guidebook, in English and Spanish, has been designed to help local municipalities and waste management professionals adapt the zero waste approach to the Mediterranean context. This is a methodological tool to support municipalities with the key foundations for implementing a zero waste strategy at the local level, specifically adapted to the challenges and opportunities Mediterranean cities face today. The document provides concrete examples of how zero waste policies and strategies have been successfully applied elsewhere in Europe and across the Mediterranean.
