Waste4Think - Moving Towards Life Cycle Thinking by Integrating Advanced Waste Management Systems

Share this project

The main objective of this project, coordinated by the Institute of Technology DeustoTech at the University of Deusto, Spain, is to move current waste management practices forward into a circular economy pattern which demonstrates the value of integrating and validating a set of twenty eco-innovative solutions that cover the whole waste value chain.

The benefits of these solutions are enhanced by a holistic waste data management methodology, which is practised in four urban areas in Europe:

  • Zamudio, Spain, is a highly industrialised area with a widely spread population that makes use of a separated kerbside collection system;
  • Halandri, Greece, is a large suburban city with a wide range of businesses with a very basic waste management system;
  • Seveso, Italy, is a residential town that uses a door-to-door collection system;
  • Cascais, Portugal, is an extensive and highly touristic coastal town that has an advanced collection system.
