| |Summary=Currently, visitors generate a large volume of mixed packaging waste e.g. lined/waxed card & plastics contaminated by food and | | |Summary=In this pilot we demonstrate Circular Solutions for efficient visitor waste management and recycling services in the tourism food and beverage sector. |
| don’t place waste in correct bins to allow recycling. We will work with entrepreneurs and visitors to increase circular economy using 3 processes concurrently for max impact:
| |
| 1) Adopt point of sales solutions e.g. locally made compostable packaging, & re-use schemes
| |
| 2) Incentivise visitors through gamifying waste disposal e.g. reverse vending and interactive bins
| |
| 3) Optimise street and business waste collection e.g. compacting smart bin and collection technologies, and for business waste services to explore new circular business opportunities to repurpose paper/card for e.g. pet bedding
| |
| | |
| By motivating behaviour change to re-use & recycle and optimising waste management, we will increase recycling of SUP/aluminium making savings on energy recovery of €39,833,04/yr, and reduce waste vehicle journeys by 95850 miles saving €669,365.79. Carbon footprint reduced by 287.55 tonnes.
