A campaign to Reduce

TAKE PART

GET INSPIRED

The European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) encourages all Europeans and not only to carry out awareness-raising actions about sustainable resource and waste management during a single week in November.

A sister campaign on the Southern Mediterranean context

The Euro-Med Weeks for Waste Reduction has been launched to promote waste prevention in the Euro-Med context. For this first edition, Action developers from 8 countries (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, and Tunisia) are called to submit actions on Circular and Sustainable Textiles by 30 November.

Six Awards to be won

Every year, the EWWR awards the most outstanding actions during its Awards Ceremony. Discover the winners of the 2021 edition and if you want to candidate your action for the 2022 edition, get in contact with your national or regional coordinator.

One thematic focus every year

In 2022, the EWWR put a spotlight on circular and sustainable textiles. Registrations are closed, check the actions that are being implemented on our database!

Driven by public authorities

Since 2009, public authorities from different countries have been supporting the campaign and making it grow year after year. Discover our history!
