The European week for waste reduction (SERR) is an initiative originating within the LIFE programme of the European Commission, with the aim of promoting the creation of awareness on sustainability and on the proper management of waste in the course of a week.
It is an initiative that involves a wide range of audiences (public bodies, enterprises, civil society and citizens). SERR's goals are as follows:
• promote actions to reduce waste across Europe;
• raising awareness about possible strategies and European and national environmental policies;
• to highlight good examples of waste reduction;
• emphasize the connections between waste reduction, sustainable development and the fight against climate change.
In 2015, the Symposium of prevention will focus on dematerialisation: Doing more with less, promoting intelligent consumption and thereby reducing waste at source.
To pay attention on this issue, Comune di Francofonte, Esper and Svimed are organising a conference day 28 November 2015 Palazzo Cosentini, to illustrate the new waste management plan of the Comune di Francofonte and introduced some initiatives developed on the Hyblean area for the promotion of sustainable management of heritage.
