The innovative value chain for sustainable waste management will foster the development of new products made from recycled waste/secondary raw materials, based on best available techniques. A systems engineering approach will be applied to ensure a coherent, controlled, transparent and interoperable implementation of the Waste Management and Prevention Programme (WMPP). The aim is to standardise best practice and create a supportive environment for innovation. The main pillars of innovation in waste management are: material flow control (reduction, reuse, recycling, cross-sectoral interoperability), process awareness, management and innovation through evaluation and certification of the WMPP measures. The action therefore focuses on the concrete implementation of digital processes that support the transfer from existing practices to practices that support the objectives of the LIFE IP RESTART project.
Objectives: To identify key processes, material flows and stocks with the aim of reducing waste generation, increasing 'recycling flows' and improving pollution control. The action will test the support of digital technologies, promoting the identification, development, implementation and deployment of innovative solutions supported by circular mechanisms.
