Full analysis and understanding of the legislative framework,
the constraints, the targets and obligations set in it
Determination and assessment of the quantitative and
qualitative characteristics of the biodegradable household
waste in Attica region
Identification and evaluation of existing management
practices
Identification and assessment of the special characteristics/habits
of households in the Attica region
The overall target of Task 1 is to acquire a clear and
representative picture of the existing situation in relation
to the management of biodegradable household waste in Attica
region, which will be the area where the pilot project will
be developed. The full analysis and assessment of the situation
will facilitate the working group to design and develop
a pilot system suitable to the targeted households in order
to finally organise an effective and operational system.
TASK 2: Identification and Analysis
of Success Stories in relation to the Management of Biodegradable
Household Waste at source
Acquirement of knowledge and experience on scientifically
sound and effective practices on biodegradable household
waste collection-composting at source and identification
of the parameters and factors that influence the success
of these systems
Identification of the potential degree of separate collection
and composting of this waste stream in Europe
Documentation that collection/composting at source is
a feasible option with respect to environment, technology,
organization, economics etc.
Dissemination of sound know-how and experience on biodegradable
household waste management systems in the municipalities
involved in the project
TASK 3: Design and Development of
an Appropriate Prototype System for the Collection and Composting
at source
Design of a suitable, effective system for simultaneous
separate collection and composting at source for the households
in the Attica region
Development of the system
TASK 4: Organization of the Implementation
Program
Increase of the environmental concern of the people
so as to willingly participate in the pilot scheme

within the municipalities
Continuous stimulation of the participants in order
to achieve an increasing rate of participation
TASK 6: Evaluation of the Results
of the Implementation – Suggestions for Full-scale Introduction
of the System
Evaluation of the results of the implementation
Identification and analysis of the problems encountered
during the implementation

facilitation of the future implementation in a larger
scale
Development of specifications for the implementation
of the program in larger scale
TASK 7: Dissemination of the project
results
Inform and train the householders and the municipalities
on the system developed for the collection/composting
of biodegradable waste at source
Inform other interested parties (e.g. other Geek municipalities,
central authorities, European municipalities, etc) on
the project development and outcome
TASK 8: Management and Reporting
to European Commission
Effective management of the project and fulfilment of
the activities included
