Duration 15-JUL-2019 to 31-OCT -2027Total budget 15934810.00 EU contribution 9560739.00 Project descriptionBackgroundThe National Action Plan on Circular Economy NAPCE was developed as Greeces response to the EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy. It was endorsed by the Governmental Economic Policy Council in 2018. The NAPCE details short-term priority interventions aimed at the promotion of the circular economy in Greece. The strategic long-term goals for 2030 included in the NAPCE focus on amongst others further applying the waste hierarchy focusing on the prevention of waste production recycling and supporting circular economy consumption patterns of re-using re-storing and repairing especially for electrical and electronic equipment.The National Waste Management Plan NWMP and its accompanying National Strategic Plan for Waste Prevention NSPWP have a five-year horizon 2015-2020. These two plans set the policy directions on waste management at national level. They also provide general guidelines by indicating the appropriate measures and actions to achieve the targets set in Greek Law 40422012 enforcing the EU Waste Framework Directive. In line with the provisions of the NWMP 13 Regional Waste Management Plans RWMPs have been drafted one for each Region and ratified. Local management plans municipality level were also assessed in the context of drafting RWMPs. In 2017 almost 80 of municipal waste produced was landfilled even though with a slightly decreasing trend since 2015. It is evident that additional effort is needed to achieve waste management targets set by the existing and forthcoming national and EU legislation. Furthermore in order to lay the foundations for the implementation of the circular economy principles a resource management concept that moves beyond the traditional waste management practices should be established focusing on waste prevention and re-use.ObjectivesThe main objective of the LIFE-IP CEI-Greece project is to reduce the amount of municipal waste sent to landfill and to promote waste prevention and re-use based on circular economy principles. Specifically the project will implement concrete waste management actions in line with the waste hierarchy principles to ensure waste diversion to the levels set by national and EU law develop demonstration project actions in four targeted fields waste food prevention reuse hazardous household waste management economic incentives in nine municipalities 5 islands 1 mountainous 3 urban and one region Western Macedonia enhance the use of economic instruments in support of the circular economy as well as of secondary materials standards in this context guide the forthcoming revision of waste management plans build-up a knowledge base to support the monitoring of the circular economy particularly in the field of waste management improve awareness of key stakeholde
