The REDUCE CAMPUS WASTE Project aims to develop studies and researches on campus waste 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle). The University of Genoa has internal expertises in the field of circular economy and signed joint agreements with municipal local waste management companies on environmental/chemical and optimization aspects. In 2015 the University of Genoa, with the REDUCE CAMPUS WASTE Project, started a project for campus sustainable waste management and implemented studies and researches in the field attitudes and behavior of the population towards waste recovery, recycling, and reuse with a circular economy approach. A first analysis was performed to estimate the amount of recyclable waste: paper, plastic, toner, WEEE. This phase was followed by a study for the implementation of an optimization model of the collection accompanied by an awareness campaign and training of staff, teaching and students, present in different areas of the university, that were been examined during the development of the project.
