EcoMedIslands provides new solutions to optimize Mediterranean islands waste management. How? By rolling out a circular economy strategy in pilot areas, cutting waste at the source and boosting reuse and recycling. Islands in Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Italy and Malta will test real-time waste tracking with IoT sensors and AI-optimized collection routes. The expected outputs: less waste, fewer trucks, lower emissions.
Alongside tech, the project runs awareness campaigns and local engagement efforts to shift behaviors and embed long-term change. A digital platform and transnational cooperation ensure lessons learned travel fast, equipping other islands to follow suit.
From smart bins to circular policies, EcoMedIslands makes sustainable waste management possible and scalable.
