Industrial Waste Mapping (IWM) is coming to the Georgian municipalities of Rustavi and Zestaponi this month with the help of the European Union for Environment (EU4Environment) Action.
Industrial waste mapping is a method to quantify and demonstrate the distribution and management of industrial waste within a geographic area.
With a number of ways to design waste mapping and concrete successful examples being taken from around the world, industrial waste maps could become part of circular economy plans in which producers of waste manage and reintroduce waste into the economy via resource loops”, reads the press-release published by the EU4Environment.
Director for the EU's Eastern Neighbourhood and Institution Building at the EU Commission posted on his Twitter account:

In Rustavi and Zestaponi the waste mapping exercise aims to identify, assess, and map the waste streams of the local manufacturing enterprises. Its main goal is to develop options for an improved resource efficiency and introduction of circular economy principles and practices.
EU4Environment aims to help the six partner countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine to preserve their natural capital and increase people’s environmental well-being.
