The European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) is an initiative promoting the implementation of awareness-raising actions about sustainable resource and waste management during a single week. It encourages a wide range of audiences (public authorities, private companies, civil society as well as citizens themselves) to get involved.

The 15^th edition of the EWWR will take place from 18 to 26 November 2023 and will focus on Packaging.The European Week of Waste Reduction will focus on packaging for the second time in its history (the first time was during the 2016 edition). Even after 7 years, this topic keeps being key in terms of waste produced, which has not been reduced but pushed forward with the increase of the e-commerce sector. With the slogan “Don´t get wrapped up!” the EWWR wanted to raise awareness of the strong environmental impact of packaging, always providing inputs, ideas, and support to promote a more sustainable consumption behavior. Please use #ewwr2023, #packaging and #dontgetwrappedup to spread the word on social media.
