Resources and Waste
The WG Resources and Waste works on the management (collection, temporary storage, transport and treatment) of all types of waste produced by the universities, in implementation of legislative and technical standards. It collects and disseminates, also from the perspective of the "circular economy", practices aimed at raising awareness on the issue of proper waste management and to address behaviors to prevent waste production from its origin: from the non-use or limited/shared use of certain objects or substances to the virtuous management of goods and materials in order to extend their useful life as much as possible.
