SUMMARY:Jornadas técnicas sobre sistemas de recogida de la fracción orgánica - Arcos de la Frontera\, 21 | Salobreña\, 23 de enero de 2025
DESCRIPTION:  \nPresentación de la Organización \nCOAMBA\, Zero Waste Europe / Mission Zero Academy y Anthesis organizan unas Jornadas Técnicas sobre la gestión de biorresiduos. Presentamos experiencias y contenidos sobre las diferentes metodologías y sistemas de recogida de la FORM. Se celebrarán en Arcos de la Frontera y Salobreña\, los días 21 y 23 de enero\, respectivamente.   \nEl Colegio Profesional de Licenciados y Graduados en Ciencias Ambientales de Andalucía (COAMBA) es una corporación de Derecho Público sin ánimo de lucro creada en virtud de la Ley 2/2013\, de 25 de febrero\, del Parlamento de Andalucía. Es el máximo órgano público de representación de los más de 8.000 Licenciados y Graduados en Ciencias Ambientales\, y de los profesionales del medio ambiente en Andalucía. \nAnthesis España trabaja con organizaciones y líderes que desean acelerar significativamente su transición hacia un futuro más sostenible medioambientalmente. Defiende y acompaña a sus clientes hacia un rendimiento sustentable como gran fuerza transformadora. Desde el área de Residuos Municipales\, Anthesis contribuye a que los municipios gestionen la recogida de sus residuos de manera eficiente\, innovadora y con transparencia; con unos resultados acordes a la legislación actual y una ciudadanía consciente y corresponsable. Ofrece consultoría de alto valor con servicios de análisis de datos\, software propio de gestión y campañas de proximidad a la ciudadanía y resto de productores de residuos urbanos.  \nZero Waste Europe es una ONG con sede en Bruselas\, que apoya una red europea de comunidades\, líderes locales\, expertos y agentes del cambio que trabajan por la eliminación de los residuos en nuestra sociedad. Tiene como objetivo defender los sistemas sostenibles de consumo y el rediseño de la relación de la humanidad con los recursos\, acelerando una transición justa hacia el residuo cero en beneficio de las personas y el planeta. Misión Zero Academy (MiZA) es un centro de desarrollo de capacidades para responsables locales\, PYMES y otras organizaciones que deseen dar un paso hacia adelante en sus estrategias de residuos cero y en la aplicación de la economía circular. Ibérica Ambiente es la entidad acreditada por Mission Zero Academy para fomentar las políticas locales y desarrollar planes de residuo cero (Zero Waste) en España y Portugal.  \nJornadas técnicas sobre sistemas de recogida de la fracción orgánica \nPresentación: \nTras la promulgación de la Ley de Residuos en abril de 2022 son muchos los retos a los que se enfrentan las entidades locales en la gestión local de sus residuos municipales. Retos que no son nuevos. Desde las primeras décadas de este siglo son muchos los municipios que han abordado la gestión de sus residuos desde una perspectiva medioambiental. Actualmente\, la Ley 7/2022\, de 8 de abril\, de residuos y suelos contaminados para una economía circular viene a reforzar y dar legitimidad a esas iniciativas locales que hoy nos sirven de inspiración.  \nLa palanca de cambio más radical nos llega de la mano del impuesto al vertido. Este impuesto no se ha planteado para ahogar económicamente a los municipios\, ya que regula también la creación de la tasa no deficitaria\, creando una situación diferencial para promover la puesta en marcha de soluciones que minimicen el vertido de residuos en vertedero y potencien de forma inmediata la reducción en la producción\, a la vez que realza la importancia de la prevención y la reutilización y fomenta la recogida selectiva y reciclaje de todos los residuos susceptibles de ser recuperados y reintroducidos en el ciclo productivo.  \nSabemos hoy que abordar la gestión ambiental y de proximidad de la fracción orgánica\, por ser el componente con mayor porcentaje en peso\, es una decisión no solo obligada por nuestra ley\, sino acertada desde un punto de vista técnico\, y necesaria desde esa perspectiva medioambiental que todos y todas compartimos.   \nExisten ejemplos inspiradores de éxito en la gestión municipal de la FORM. Conocer las mejores prácticas\, sean de fuera o dentro de Andalucía\, nos va a facilitar la elección de los modelos de gestión de los biorresiduos más acordes con los condicionantes geográficos\, políticos y socioeconómicos de nuestras localidades. Son sistemas que\, además de buscar recuperar los biorresiduos\, promueven la participación ciudadana y la corresponsabilidad ambiental tanto en la puesta en marcha de comportamientos de consumo sostenible\, como de reducción o separación en origen\, ofreciendo un nuevo enfoque\, que conocemos con varios nombres  (alta eficiencia\, Residuo Cero\, etc) y que nos que lleva a plantear un cambio de paradigma.\n \nEstas jornadas nos permitirán conocer los modelos y sistemas de gestión de la fracción orgánica que hoy conviven en nuestro país\, así como los pros y los contras de cada uno. Desde el autocompostaje (compostaje doméstico\, comunitario o agro-compostaje) hasta los sistemas más innovadores de fiscalidad verde\, como el pago por generación (PxG) o el pago por participación (PxP). Tendremos la oportunidad de conocer las metodologías más avanzadas de PxG y PxP\, no exentas de dificultad y e incluso polémica\, también de la mano de técnico/as expertas en su desarrollo.  \nObjetivo: \nEstas Jornadas tienen triple objetivo: \n\nPromover la implantación de sistemas de gestión de la fracción orgánica de alta eficiencia y adaptados a la casuística de cada localidad;\nCrear un espacio de dialogo en el que poder comparar\, aprender y solventar dudas sobre los diferentes sistemas expuestos;\nAvanzar en la puesta en marcha de programas de prevención y reducción de residuos urbanos\, siguiendo los principios Residuo Cero y la jerarquía de los residuos.  \n\nDestinatarios: \nEmpleados públicos\, empresas de gestión de residuos\, responsables locales\, grupos de interés\, y otros participantes relevantes. \nLocalización y fecha: \nEn Arcos de la Frontera (Cádiz) y Salobreña (Granada). \n\nArcos de la Frontera: 21 de enero\n\nSalón de Actos del Ayuntamiento Nuevo\, Av.

SUMMARY:Reuse in action: a tale of two cities
DESCRIPTION:Zero Waste Europe\, in partnership with the cities of Aarhus and Copenhagen\, and with the support of Tomra and New Loop\, is hosting a two-day study tour in Denmark. We invite city officials\, policymakers\, civil society organisations\, producer responsibility organisations and reuse entrepreneurs to come together and explore how cities can scale reuse systems that actually work. \nOver these two days\, participants will: \n\nSee first-hand how city-wide reuse systems are reducing single-use waste\nHear from the people making change happen; and\nParticipate in workshops and discussions designed to give them a clear\, actionable blueprint for implementing reuse in their own city\n\nPractical information\nLocation: Copenhagen and Aarhus \nDates: 5-6 March 2026 \nPlaces available: 50 (priority access for ReuSe Vanguard Project (RSVP)\, Elevating Reuse in Cities (ERIC)\, and Mission Zero Academy (MiZA) cities and partners) – on a first come\, first served basis \n👉 To register and secure your spot\, please complete the registration form by 6 February 2026. \nWhy reuse – and why now?\nEuropean cities are drowning in single-use packaging. Every year\, an estimated 500 billion single-use cups are disposed of globally. Most are only used for a few minutes\, but they persist in the environment for centuries. Municipalities bear the cost: 30–50% of urban litter management budgets go to cleaning up single-use waste\, while recycling rates remain low. \nWhile more and more European cities are testing reuse through event pilots\, voluntary schemes\, or HoReCa initiatives – often alongside levies or regulatory measures to curb single-use – many critical questions remain: \n\nWhat makes a city-wide reuse system successful?\n\n\nHow can public-private partnerships be structured to enable competition while ensuring standardisation\, inclusivity\, and interoperability in the long run?\n\n\nHow can cities move from short-term pilots to durable\, scalable systems?\nWhich policy\, governance\, and financial frameworks deliver real results?\n\nThis field trip is designed to answer these questions – grounded in real operational experience and building on the expertise of a multi-stakeholder group of participants. \nFrom pilots to city-wide systems\nDenmark is leading the way with city-wide reuse systems that prove another model is possible. The cities of Aarhus and Copenhagen offer a real-world laboratory for cities ready to move beyond pilots and scale reuse effectively. \n\nAarhus: Since January 2024\, over 1.5 million reusable cups have been returned through the REUSEABLE system\, demonstrating city-wide reuse at scale across events\, nightlife\, and take-away.\n\n\nCopenhagen: In November 2025\, Copenhagen launched its city-wide reuse system\, helping cafés\, restaurants\, and stores to seamlessly integrate reuse into their daily operations.\n\n\nAgenda overview\n[subject to change]\n⚠️A detailed agenda will be available in January 2026 and sent to confirmed participants. \n\n4 March 2026 | Arrivals in Copenhagen\n\nEvening:\n\nOptional informal dinner for those who wish to join (at own cost).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5 March 2026 | Day 1 – Copenhagen\n\nMorning:\n\nPresentation and discussion: City of Copenhagen and New Loop\nSite visit to the citywide reuse system\n\n\nMidday:\n\nNetworking Lunch\n\n\nAfternoon:\n\nTravel together to Aarhus (bus/ferry or train – TBC) with debrief on the site visit.\n\n\nEvening:\n\nREUSEABLE – 2nd anniversary celebrations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6 March 2026 | Day 2 – Aarhus\n\nMorning:\n\nWelcome and site visit to the citywide reuse system\n\n\nAfternoon:\n\nInteractive workshop for hands-on learning\, discussions\, and action planning – End of the programme (16.00)\nIndividual travel arrangements (at own cost)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLogistics and costs\n⚠️Attending this study tour is free of charge.  \nHowever\, participants are responsible for their own travel to and from Denmark and accommodation. A logistics pack will be provided to confirmed participants to help with travel arrangements and booking accommodation. \n➡️ Participants are expected to travel to Copenhagen on 4 March 2026\, as the event will start in the morning of 5 March 2026. \n\nWhat will you gain? \nThis two-day field trip and workshop\, part of the ReuSe Vanguard Project (RSVP)\, will: \n\nShowcase best-in-class reuse systems in Aarhus and Copenhagen.\nExplore the policies\, partnerships\, and infrastructure that make them work.\nEnable peer-to-peer exchange and hands-on problem-solving tailored to your city and context.\n\nParticipants will leave with a clear\, actionable blueprint for implementing or improving reuse systems in their community. \n\nWho should attend?\n\nCity and regional officials\nPublic authorities (national or EU)\nCivil society organisations\nProducer Responsibility Organisations\nReuse system operators and entrepreneurs\nResearchers and practitioners working on circular economy solutions\nWaste management operators\n\nExpect two intense and inspiring days of practical learning\, knowledge exchange\, and experience sharing with Europe’s reuse frontrunners.
