OBJECTIVES

The aim of the project is to contribute to the success of the European and National policies on waste prevention and sustainable consumption through the implementation and monitoring of an integrated waste prevention and reduction program in a significant and internationally known territory as Chianti (Province of Florence), thus providing to Member States a relevant case study for the establishment of their waste prevention programmes by December 2013 (as prescribed by the Waste Framework Directive, Art. 29).

The program implementation is also based on the mobilization and encouragement of a broad range of local stakeholders and the public to take action and so demonstrate also to other territories that waste prevention - reduction and sustainable development could be effectively achieved by means of integrated and participated approaches and concrete commitments, actions and tools.
