ACR+ was invited to present its work and to share best practice examples from its network. As a concrete example of how to increase recycling on a territory, ACR+ presented the case of Contarina. This ACR+ member active in the North of Italy is not only a great example with regard to the impressive increase of the recycling rate, but also pushing for moving up the waste hierarchy and for a continuous improvement thanks to ambitious targets.
Furthermore, ACR+ presented the European Week for Waste Reduction project, an awareness-raising campaign running successfully since several years which could be an interesting concrete action for the Montenegrin municipalities present. Finally, the ACR+ own initiative Circular European Network was presented and all present municipalities were invited to join ACR+ as “invited members”.
The meeting provided a great opportunity for ACR+ to establish first contacts to local authorities and the national association of municipalities of Montenegro.
