A DECentralIzed management Scheme for Innovative Valorization of urban biowastE (DECISIVE)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2020,
The growing attractiveness of cities leads to increasing population, thus rising energetic and food demands in urban areas. This makes urban waste management increasingly challenging, both in terms of logistics and environmental or health impacts. To decrease the cities’ environmental impacts and to contribute to a better resilience of urban areas towards energy or food supply crisis, waste manage ...
