Project funded by the European Commission under the LIFE programme, 2019 - 2022. Highlights The toolkit, drafted by six REThinkWASTE project partners, coordinated and overseen by ACR+, will draw cities and regions attention on the concepts of Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) and Know-As-You-Throw (KAYT). Six modules are planned to support users in implementing the schemes. ACR+ members can join the testing phase this summer, to finetune the toolkit before its launch planned for late 2021. THE PROJECT The goal is to increase separate collection of waste, reduce residual waste per capita and boost the recovery rate, whilst simultaneously cutting the average household waste bill. This will be pursued by adapting waste management plans and addressing other drivers (e.g. regulation, financial plans, waste management service contracts), based on a combined approach of PAYT and KAYT. The projects specific objectives are to test the concept of KAYT in four local systems (in 51 municipalities in central Veneto managed by Etra, in Sant Just, Spain, and in Bitetto and Varese, Italy) side by side with the PAYT approach. Also, it aims to incorporate the PAYT and KAYT paradigm within the municipal waste management regulations of the four pilot sites, with the final goal of reducing the yearly quantity of unsorted waste produced and increasing the tariff spread between virtuous and underperforming citizens. To finish, the project will provide about 230 municipalities in the EU with customisable waste strategies, service schemes and business plans to trigger a change in mindset among policy-makers and civil officials, which will, in turn, spark a shift from a traditional tariff system to a variable one (PAYT) combined with a pioneering persuasion approach (KAYT).
