The 20th of November 2010 will see the dawn of the second official European Week for Waste Reduction. With the support of the European Commission’s LIFE+ Programme, the EWWR aims to inform large numbers of European citizens about the simple actions that they can take in everyday life to help contribute to waste reduction efforts.

The first edition, held in 2009, was a success: it involved 20 organisers in 10 countries and saw the implementation of 2672 actions across Europe.

The 2010 edition of the European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) will now be organised by 28 European public authorities across 15 European countries. WasteServ Malta is the official organiser of this week in Malta.

Under the coordination of the organisers, a variety of actors, including public authorities and administrations, associations and NGOs, businesses and industry, educational establishments, etc. will get involved in the week by carrying out awareness-raising actions on waste reduction.

These project actions will focus on the various stages of the product cycle, ranging from production and consumption to reuse.

Participating in this event is easy, anybody can visit the website, www.wasteservmalta.com, to obtain more information in order to come up with an idea of a waste reduction action which can be practiced during this week. The action should fall under one of the following categories:

Too much waste

Better production

Better consumption

Longer life for products and

Less waste thrown away

Everyone’s participation will make all the difference and this week a success. WasteServe Malta are looking forward to hear new ideas of waste reduction actions which will contribute to the country’s sustainable development.
