In the beginning of 2023, eZavod became a member of ACR+ network, which is complementing our activities in the field of circular economy. ACR+ is an international network of cities and regions sharing the aim of promoting a sustainable resource management and accelerating the transition towards a circular economy on their territories and beyond.

Circular economy calling for cooperation between all actors, ACR+ is open to other key players in the field of material resource management such as NGOs, academic institutions, consultancy or private organisations.

ACR+ mission

• to contribute on a European and international level to waste prevention and to the ecologically and economically rational waste management and thus to enhance sustainable development;
• to contribute to close the cycle of primary and secondary raw materials (resources, products, waste) notably through the promotion of resource savings and a more equitable distribution;
• to advocate for the transition from a chain economy to a circular economy as the way towards resource efficiency;
• to create and maintain a network for exchanging information on prevention, selective collection and recycling of waste in urban environments;
• to encourage the harmonization of concepts, definitions and standards in the domain of waste, products and resources;
• to promote the creation of multi-stakeholder partnerships;
• to develop the expertise and skills of public authorities in effective waste-product-resource policies;
• to encourage practical action in waste management and sustainable consumption.

The activities of the network are determined by its members’ needs and priorities.
