The European Week for Waste Reduction - EWWR is an initiative aimed at promoting the implementation of awareness actions on sustainability and proper waste management in the week from 20 to 28 November 2021. 

The EWWR consists of an elaborate environmental communication campaign which intends to promote greater public awareness among citizens on the excessive quantities of waste produced and the need to drastically reduce them.  The enphasis is upon waste prevention and each action of the European Week for Waste Reduction shows how every actor in society – including individual citizens – can creatively contribute to reduce waste personally and communicate this message to others.

The European Week for Waste Reduction was born within the LIFE+ Program of the European Commission with the primary aim of raising awareness among institutions, consumers and all other stakeholders about the waste prevention strategies and policies implemented by the European Union.
