Med4Waste policy toolkit aims to transmit to key Mediterranean actors a set of concise recommendations and policy guidelines to promote better governance in the sustainable use of resources and management of waste and facilitate the implementation of the necessary steps to achieve a circular economy in the Mediterranean.

Designing and implementing integrated waste management plans, creating a supportive environment for the private sector through incentive systems, investing in long-term awareness and education and active participation in regional and sub-regional (Mediterranean) cooperation efforts to tackle common waste management challenges are among the key suggestions. Emphasis is put on stakeholder engagement and public participation as well as strengthening capacity and competences and enhancing synergies to effectively address the complexity and challenges of waste management systems. 

Med4Waste is a 2-year-long capitalisation project (2021-2023) funded by the ENI CBC MED programme on the priority of waste management.
