Report on uptake of PPI approaches in the waste sector published

The PPI4Waste project has published a report on uptake of PPI approaches in the waste sector, based on lessons learned through the 3-year project's activities. The report highlights several recommendations for policy-makers on procurement of innovation in the waste sector, and explores the its application to specific areas such as bulky waste, plastic separation and bio-waste.

The PPI4Waste project involves eight partners and explores mechanisms to overcome barriers to public procurement of innovation in the waste sector. The project also produced training materials, established online communities and coordinated workshops for waste sector procurers.

Case studies from the Netherlands, Ireland, the UK and Italy demonstrate the project's activities and present examples of best practice. Policy recommendations include addressing approaches to market engagement and capacity building for public authorities, development of fora and local partnerships in waste and innovation procurement, and exploration of new business models and their relevance for the Circular Economy agenda.
