Lazio Region circular economy initiatives

Overview

The Lazio Region has implemented several initiatives to promote a circular economy and sustainability. The first phase involved the launch of the ‘DJ Ric e i PlasticSound’ project, an environmental education program targeting schools in Rome and surrounding provinces. This initiative uses creative methods like music and workshops to teach students about waste management, reduction, and recycling.

Following this, the Lazio Regional Council unanimously approved legislation specifically aimed at combating food waste. This law establishes a permanent model for recovering and redistributing food and non-food surpluses. To encourage participation, the legislation introduces the ‘Lazio Solidale’ label to recognize businesses and non-profits, while offering financial incentives such as waste tax reductions. The law also integrates social components, including school programs for conscious consumption and labor inclusion networks within the prison system.
