Members will have the possibility to vote on important topics such as the membership fees for 2019. This year's General Assembly was also of particular importance as it saw the renewal of ACR+ Board of Directors and Presidency for the upcoming 2 years.The call for application closed on 27 April 2018. Then, discussion groups took place with the aim of deepening communication, exchanges and cooperation between ACR+ members. They also contributed to identify concrete working proposals and activities to be included in the upcoming working programmes. The following topics were discussed:

  • Waste and tourism
  • Linking sustainable resource management and smart cities
  • Urban planning
  • Focus on city harbours

Waste selective collection: crucial factor in the circular economy

On 29 May 2018, LIPOR organised an international conference focusing on selective collection in the circular economy, in partnership with ACR+. The conference discussed the role of waste selective collection in the circular economy, focusing on two different waste streams (plastic and bio-waste) but also on the future outlooks with the case of very specific selective collections (such as nappies, coffee capsules, etc.). It also presented the European context and the Portuguese approach to circular economy.
