Project Description
URBANREC has implemented an eco-innovative and integral bulky waste management system (enhancing prevention and reuse, improving logistics and allowing new waste treatments to obtain high added value recycled products) and demonstrate its effectiveness in different EU regions: Northern, Mediterranean, Eastern and South-eastern areas in Europe, represented in URBANREC by 3 EU-28 countries and Turkey. These countries currently have very different urban waste recycling rates, from around a 70% in Belgium, 25-30% in Spain, 20% in Poland, to less than 5% in Turkey, thus being representatives of the different scenarios at European level for the evaluation of different activities proposed in URBANREC project.
The FP7 URBAREC project, coordinated by the plastic’s technological centre AIMPLAS (Spain), with 21 partners and EUR 10 Million budget was awarded by the EU with a grant of EUR 8.6 million. Qi participated in the project structuring and design of the business model associated to the technical solution. The impact section of the file was fully prepared and redacted by Qi.
