More specifically, it will transfer and adapt experiences from successful waste prevention and collection activities with the prospect of gaining knowledge for the wider transferability of such activities in different EU context. EWAS aims to ensure a sustainable management of natural resources and wastes with emphasis on energy efficiency and contributing with the reduction of GHG emissions, noise and traffic congestion during the waste collection and transportation.
