International Conference Towards a European Observatory for municipal waste recycling performances

The ACR+ conference is part of the Assises des déchets (Biannual Convention for territorial waste management) being co-organized by the Association of Cities and Regions for Recycling and Sustainable Resource Management (ACR+) network and its member Ile-de-France Région Waste Management Observatory (ORDIF), along with the Ile-de-France Region and Idéal Connaissances/Réseau Ideal.

The International Conference will gather a group of experts to discuss municipal waste recycling performances from different perspectives: interpreting quantitative objectives in link with the recent European waste framework Directive, implementing local and regional objectives, examining collection methods and  data benchmarking, reviewing existing European statistics on recycling performances for different flows (packaging, organic waste, etc.) and discussing practical methods for adopting waste management targets.

ACR+ will close with a call for the creation of a true European Observatory for municipal waste recycling performances at local and regional level.
