Development of Governmental Prevention Strategy. The case study of Cyprus

The annual per capita production of waste in Cyprus is estimated at 468 Kg for residential areas and 670 Kg for tourist areas, while the total waste is estimated at the end of 2012 up to 630000t according to the official statistics. The Waste Prevention Strategy for Cyprus suggests that local authorities and policy makers should now put more emphasis on waste prevention and re-use, in order to achieve a reduction of disposal costs, CO2 emissions and a decrease in the demand for natural resources.

The waste prevention activities and the waste prevention actions as designed are in relation to specific waste prevention target and indicators per selected group like Public and Local Authorities, Educational Centre, Tourist Activities, Shopping centres, Constructions. The prevention activities focuses on public awareness program using social media, newspaper, radio spots, tv spots, mails, door by door informative, live links, seminars, conferences, advertising of waste prevention as well as through telephone lines. Also the activities promote home composting on which yard and green waste can be composted easily (those waste in some regions especially the tourist areas consist the 25% of the total waste v/v). Through this Strategic specific emphasis is given to Food waste reduction. The proposed Governmental strategy covers the state of the art, the compositional analysis, the waste prevention activities, the waste prevention actions, waste prevention target and indicators, the methodology for determine the waste prevention. This Waste Prevention Plan supports the overarching Waste Management Strategy for Cyprus from 2014-2020.
