The European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) has unveiled the finalists for its 2023 campaign, selected by a panel of environmental experts from a pool of over 14,000 actions. The European Week of Waste Reduction focused on packaging for the second time in its history (the first time was during the 2016 edition).  Even after 7 years, this topic remains crucial in terms of waste produced, which has not been reduced but pushed forward with the increase of the e-commerce sector. Among the 15 creative and impactful initiatives recognised are projects from diverse sectors including public administration, business, NGOs, educational establishments, and citizens, all showcasing innovative approaches to waste reduction. The winners will be announced at the Awards Ceremony scheduled for 18 June in Marseille, which promises to be an occasion to celebrate the achievements of individuals and organizations dedicated to fostering a sustainable future.
