The town of Hernani in particular is a zero waste best practice for its successful organics management system. The zero waste strategy is jointly coordinated by the City Council and a 100% public waste management company, Garbitania Zero Zabor, who place a key emphasis on citizen outreach and participation. In 2020, the following results were achieved: ➔ Separate collection rate of 80.6% in urban areas, reaching 88.70% in industrial areas. ➔ Separate bio-waste collection of 87.9 kg per inhabitant. ➔ 49 community composting centres in operation. ➔ 546 tons of bio-waste captured by community composting and home composting. ➔ Residual waste generation of 54.80 kg per capita from the urban (municipal) area – a large part of which is notably diapers and sanitary towels The council of Hernani, together with Garbitania, has as its heart crucial zero waste values – community engagement; the separation of as many recyclable materials as possible; and the desire to minimise the volume of waste sent to landfill or incineration. This community-centered approach undeniably sits at the heart of Hernani’s impressive results, setting an example for others across Europe to follow.
