The European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) began its 15th edition with a staggering 14 522 actions spanning 29 countries. This year, the EWWR is dedicated to the significant environmental impact of packaging. Emphasizing the urgency of sustainable practices, the campaign addresses the persisting issue of increased waste production, particularly exacerbated by the growth of the e-commerce sector. 

You can check the campaign's dedicated events page to know how to take part in the actions near you. Maybe you will join the EWWR action of the ACR+ Secretariat? In addition to a zero waste lunch, the team in Brussels will try to make beeswax wraps!
