The fifth annual European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) will be held from 21–26 November on the subject of “Packaging”, to which the Principality is very committed as part of its ‘zero single-use plastic waste by 2030’ policy. 

The Department of the Environment, coordinator of the EWWR and member of the Steering Committee, held a meeting on 27 September to launch the fifth annual EWWR in Monaco, attended by numerous stakeholders and in advance of a week rich in events, both for the general public and at different companies and organisations in Monaco.

Open to all public, private and personal initiatives focused on reducing packaging, the main theme of this year’s event, the EWWR also promotes any measure that aims to reduce waste, including the repair of objects, the upcycling of old clothing, collection drives for non-profits, zero-waste cooking, waste collection, awareness raising campaigns and object re-use tips and tricks.
