Our partners from Syracuse are using the sunny summer months as best as they can in order to maximise the visibility of the project and the measures being implemented among their local community, as well as tourists visiting the city this summer.

The event gathered around 30 people including representatives from local authorities, stakeholders involved in URBAN-WASTE, waste management authorities, hotel associations and accommodation services.

Syracuse held its 3rd Community of Practices event in Palazzo Vermexio on 12 December, hosting about 30 people from different backgrounds, such as local authorities, waste management authorities, associations of hand craft workers, tourist associations, schools and hotels representatives.

The city of Syracuse hosted its 2nd CoP event on 9 October, engaging local authorities, citizens, waste management authorities, the craft worker association, tourist association, schools and restaurants.

The URBAN-WASTE project will be presented at the EcoFesta, Fare e Comunicare, which will take place in Augusta, Syracuse on 29 September, 2017 within the workshop “private public synergy: demand and supply (from GPP to Mass Retail actions) against food waste“.

URBAN-WASTE was presented to a wide public of experts and municipality authorities at the conference “Zero Waste: Waste Management and Circular Economy” in occasion of the International Fair “Progetto Comfort”.

From 29 August to 4 September Syracuse hosted the Canoe Polo World Championship 2016, initiative that was conceived, designed and built with special attention to environmental impacts and the fight against food waste.
