Zero Waste Cities in Ukraine

Four hromadas – four efficient and sustainable household waste management systems. This is the goal of the “Zero Waste Cities in Ukraine” project with the support of the European Union’s LIFE programme.

Together with our partners, the Zero Waste Alliance Ukraine will support cities and their communities in the process of waste management reform in Ukraine.

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!
