The Municipality of Apeldoorn (Netherlands) hosted its fellow SMART WASTE partners for the project’s first virtual study visit. Participants made a virtual tour through Apeldoorn and got acquainted with all the activities regarding waste management in the municipality. The visit started with an overview of the activities developed by Circulus, the public company in charge of waste collection in Apeldoorn. Several videos took participants to the recycle station, they discovered the waste container fill level measurement, the dynamic route planning for waste collection in use in the municipality and understood how Apeldoorn is involving neighbourhood communities to avoid waste placements near containers.

The next speaker highlighted the activities of Cirkelwaarde, a partnership of local waste collectors to support circularity for waste as substitutes of raw materials. Zero Waste Apeldoorn presented their activity to promote social plogging on a regular basis through prizes and newsletters.
