Annual Zero Waste Europe meeting in Gipuzkoa – 11-13th May 2012
The European network of Zero Waste groups will be meeting in Donosti (San Sebastian), Spanish Basque country, from 11th to 13th May 2012.
This meeting will bring together activists, waste experts & policy-makers from all over Europe with the participation of observers from outside the continent.
This event will combine site-visits with public events and internal debates.
We will visit the best-practices of Hernani and Usurbil, municipalities who pioneered door-to-door separate collection in the Basque Country and now collect more than 85% of its waste separately allowing for very high recycling and composting rates.
There will be public conferences with experts in Zero Waste strategies such a Dr Paul Connett, Enzo Favoino or Rossano Ercolini who will share the experience and the details of a Zero Waste with citizens and policy-makers.
And last but not least there will be the meeting of the Zero Waste network in Europe where we will discuss strategy for the next year, approve indicators to measure progress to Zero Waste, present best practices from different local experiences and prepare common cross-border projects.
