Zero Waste Cities in Ukraine

Four municipalities — four efficient and sustainable municipal waste management systems. This is the goal we set in the “Zero Waste Cities in Ukraine” project, supported by the European Union’s LIFE Programme.

Together with partners, the Zero Waste Alliance Ukraine supports municipalities and their residents throughout the process of waste management reform in Ukraine.

Srtucture of the project

The reform of the waste management system is one of

Ukraine’s tasks under the Association Agreement with

the EU.

Along with legislative changes, it is important to support local communities by providing them with the necessary knowledge and introducing them to the experience of waste management in the EU. This will allow for the development of Zero Waste Strategies that take into account local opportunities and challenges. Thus, post-war urban recovery will be based on the principles of the waste hierarchy and circular economy.

Based on the practical experience of European municipalities, the expertise of research institutions and public organisations, the future developments will be a confident start for our communities on the path to qualitative changes with care for the environment and public health.

We have four years to do this. So we are working and moving forward!
