VI axis

Priority Axis VI - Environmental protection and promotion of natural and cultural resources

Axis VI intervenes on the enhancement of natural and tourist-cultural resources.

With regard to waste, the regional strategy includes both the objective of encouraging the reduction of waste production and that of encouraging the best models and tools to increase the percentages of separate collection through the reorganization of services.

In addition, the aim is to promote the adoption of Waste Prevention Plans within the ARO, to encourage the spread of domestic and community composting practices, to encourage the reduction of waste within public canteens, to reduce the production of plastic through the purchase of municipal stations for microfiltration of public water, to stimulate the adoption of procedures for Green Purchases in the PA as well as to launch a communication campaign on sustainable consumption and waste reduction.

Within the regional strategy, the realization of systems of differentiated pneumatic collection and the construction of municipal or intermunicipal collection centres of urban waste and assimilated to differentiated urban waste occupy an important place.

It is also planned to strengthen the plant equipment for the treatment and recovery, including energy, based on the principles of self-sufficiency, territorial proximity and minimization of environmental impacts. In this sense, the construction of plants for the treatment of the organic fraction (with aerobic and/or anaerobic digestion process), the reconversion of public biostabilization plants, the installation of plants for the treatment and recovery of secondary raw materials, the revamping of existing public plants, and the reactivation of public CMRDs not in operation should be considered.
