LIFE REthinkWASTE - Improve urban waste governance through PAYT & KAYT Final Conference
Pay As You Throw (PAYT) and Know As You Throw (KAYT) models are an integral part of local waste management policies for the last several years, with many more local and regional authorities around Europe considering their implementation. Local authorities can stimulate changes in citizens' behaviours by introducing dynamic waste tariff systems based on the PAYT principle and by applying the so-called "nudge" theory where citizens adopt a more responsible behaviour in response to positive support and indirect help or suggestions, something that the innovative KAYT approach is based on.
All along the workshop, final event of the LIFE REthinkWASTE project organised by ACR+ in in Ecomondo expo, participants heard about the impact of the adoption of integrated PAYT+KAYT models in different EU cities and regions. Furthermore, LIFE REthinkWASTE experts presented a Decision Support System and an Online Toolkit that helped participants to understand if dynamic waste pricing models are suitable and how to plan their use in the most effective manner.
