managementpolicy
in
Greece?
By demonstrating to other Municipalities how a separate collection system
for biowaste can be planned and implemented
By initiating composting of biowaste in the greater Athens area, taking into
account that 3 composting plants are to be constructed within the next years
By evaluating the compost quality in accordance with standards such as
Eco-Label correlating it with different collection systems
By producing an innovative software tool which will evaluate the carbon
footprint as well as the costs of alternative biowaste collection and treatment
solutions.
