Production and recycling wastes in Belgium, Hungary, Italy and Spain

In this deliverable, CirclELab aims to show the required characteristics of the wastes to become valuable products and how these processers are made. The aim is to gather together data on wastes produced per economic activity in four countries (Belgium, Hungary, Italy and Spain) and analyse them with an objective of identifying the most important types and quantities of wastes; the focus will be oriented to the development of a methodology which will be proposed based on a disruptive toolkit that will allow students of 10-18 years old and their teachers to experience a recycling process with their hands. It will present the characteristic of wastes to become valuable products and the process through which wastes become products through recycling, by method of common and basic teaching concepts like pictures, paints, videos, etc. and visit to recycling plants to introduce and teach students recycling process or circular economy in schools, and students will be able to link common products with wastes and to understand that what is waste for one can be a resource for the other.
