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.
