  40. CITIZEN AWARENESS The success of separate waste collection requires above all a general public commitment. The regional environmental ministry in collaboration with the IMS, promote regional & local communication campaigns and educational activities. Publicity campaigns, conferences, school seminars and university courses are some of the tools used to widen public awareness on the issues related to waste recycling and recovery.

  41. CHALLENGES TO BE ACHIEVED To fully achieve the targets set by the European and Spanish legislations a number of focus areas must be achieved. IMPROVEMENT IN COLLECTION QUALITY The quality of collected material is fundamental, both for collection costs and for recycling . DEVELOPING COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND WASTE MANAGEMENT COMPANIES Building a shared path towards optimized waste management and spreading best practices in waste collection management. PROMOTION OF THE RECYCLING MARKET Promote between the consumers to pay particular attention to the market of recycled materials and to the products from recycling, and support programs for a deeper knowledge of recycled products among citizens and municipalities.
