UrbanWINS, an EU-funded project aimed at developing and testing eco-innovative waste prevention and management strategies in eight pilot cities, has released its first newsletter, providing an introduction to the project and round up of related news. A new edition of the newsletter will be released every four months.

The newsletter opens with an explanation of UrbanWINS, outlining how the project will achieve its objectives. Measures include carrying out an analysis of waste prevention and management strategies in 24 cities across six countries, and testing plans for urban waste prevention and management in pilot cities.

Newsletter highlights include an overview of the UrbanWINS kick-off meeting in Cremona (Italy), information on events attended by the UrbanWINS consortium, and details on how to become part of the UrbanWINS community. Upcoming events on the topic of waste management are also listed. The newsletter can be subscribed to on the UrbanWINS website.
