The WES project purpose are:

  1. to reduce the pollution reaching the Mediterranean with a special focus on plastic pollution; 
  2. to strengthen the efficient use of water in urban and rural areas.

In the attached link you can find interesting and key information about some activites and initiatives under one of the WES components.  The website or ‘repository’ aims to promote waste reduction and circular economy across the waste management chain in the Mediterranean region.

The cases included were selected out of many from different countries of the region via a stakeholder consultation to identify best practices. They are of varying scale and type from which a lot can be learned and that could inspire more actions to substantially reduce waste generation by 2030 through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.
