About – Mediterranean Waste Innovations for Sustainable Environments

The Mediterranean faces significant waste management challenges, with most municipal waste ending up in landfills. Organic waste, a valuable resource for energy and nutrients, is often contaminated and unusable. The MedWISE project aims to accelerate the transition to a circular, resource-efficient economy by sharing proven solutions. The project will focus on innovative waste management technologies, cross-border testing, and increasing knowledge sharing across countries. Through piloting solutions like AI-powered sorting, decentralized composting, and industrial symbiosis, the project will boost capacity, raise awareness, and support policy integration for a more sustainable future. One solution will be implemented as a pilot at municipal level in Masias de Roda (Spain) and Bikfaya (Lebanon) and at the household level in the remaining countries. The other solution will uniformly be implemented in the six partner countries (Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Spain and Türkiye).
