The European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) has reached its 16th edition this year! The theme of the EWWR 2024 is food waste, a thematic focus already used in 2014, and was chosen to address the issue of increasing food waste.
According to data from the European Commission, in fact, every year more than 58 million tons of organic waste are generated (about 131 kg/ab).
This year too, between 16 and 24 November, citizens across Europe will be called upon to devise new actions for reduction, reuse and recycling.
EWWR has decided to join forces to inspire a change in the way we produce, consume and distribute food in Italy and Europe.
Today, June 21, 2024, from 3 pm to 4:30 pm, you can find out how companies can make a difference in reducing food waste during the first webinar in preparation for the 2024 edition of EWWR.
You can assist by registering here or by connecting on EWWR social channels (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook), to explore innovative strategies, share good practices and discuss environmental impact, economic and social along the entire food chain!
