Industrial Urban Symbiosis: REDOL Project launched in Zaragoza

Solid urban waste (SUW) is an abundant source for circular products production, but it is generally not exploited. Over 500 kg of municipal waste per capita were generated in the EU in 2020, while only 45% was recycled. EEIP joined 35 partners from Spain, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, France, The Netherlands, Cyprus, and Hungary, to kick off the REDOL project. REDOL aims to turn Zaragoza, the capital of Aragon, into a zero-waste city by 2040. The project objectives include: Redesigning five value chains for Solid Urban in Aragon (packaging, plastics, CDW, textiles, WEEE), management technologies to collect, sort and classify SUW, improving the processing routes of sorted materials to avoid landfilling and improve interaction among key players.
