"MED-3R: Euro-Mediterranean Strategic Platform for a suitable waste management" last activities

« MED-3R Euro-Mediterranean Strategic Platform for a suitable waste management » is a strategic project of the ENPI CBC MED Programme included in the topic « Waste treatment and recycling ».This 90 % funded project by the European Union of a budget of 4,787,062 € brings together 15 direct partners and 7 associated.

Among its last activities: In France, a selective sorting space for packages has been set up in the historical area of Vieux Nice at Nice Cote d’Azur Metropole. The premises location at 3 rue Gilly was selected, based on the tourist attractiveness of the area and its high frequentation, the strategic complexity of waste collection and the possible scope for improving the recorded performances. With the support of an awareness campaign and the distribution of 3000 guidebooks and sorting bags planned for April 2016, a doubling of the recycling collection rate is thus expected in the area by 2017.

On the other hand, a storage box of waste of electrical and electronic equipment (or WEEE) has been installed at the civic amenity of Cagnes-sur-Mer on the territory of Nice Cote d’Azur Metropole. It is the fourth storage box provided to the metropolitan population within the MED-3R, following those installed at the civic amenities of West of Nice, Isola and Valdeblore. It will thus serve to collect the non-cooling major appliances, being an important source of recyclable materials that can be easily disassembled.

In early July 2015, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Nice Cote d’Azur has set up its new electronic tool for the restaurants in Nice, as part of its pilot project on catering waste.
