Maresme Circular<\/strong> has joined the ESGREM<\/strong> (Supra-municipal Entities for the Management of Municipal Waste) working group together with forty other supra-municipal entities from all over Spain, responsible for the management of municipal waste.<\/p>\n Coordinated by the Environmental Forum Foundation<\/strong>, ESGREM’s fundamental mission is to accelerate the transition towards sustainable management of municipal resources<\/strong> with circularity<\/strong> criteria and thus contribute more efficiently to climate protection<\/strong> and all the European objectives linked to this sector.<\/p>\n The 46 members<\/strong> of ESGREM serve more than 21 million citizens <\/strong>throughout Spain and seek to strengthen and formalise the cooperation and coordination of its members by sharing the knowledge<\/strong> and experience accumulated in waste management in order to accelerate the path towards sustainability<\/strong> in their sector.<\/p>\n A few years ago, some public bodies in the field of municipal waste management in Catalonia set up an informal discussion group to exchange opinions<\/strong> and debate criteria for action.<\/p>\n In view of their diagnosis, it became clear that supra-municipal entities are in a privileged position to participate in the debate and to contribute effective proposals and solutions<\/strong>. This led to the decision to set up and extend the group to the Spanish sphere, giving rise to the current ESGREM.<\/p>\n – Coordinate greater territorial and inter-territorial collaboration to achieve operational synergies<\/strong> as well as in the application of promotion and control instruments.<\/p>\n – To share, elaborate and disseminate experiences and knowledge<\/strong> through publications, conferences, congresses, etc.<\/p>\n – To represent the local sphere<\/strong> in order to channel opinions, positions and actions before the competent public administrations both in Spain and in the European Union.<\/p>\n – To assist local entities to increase service levels in terms of circular economy<\/strong> and public health<\/strong>, particularly in the management of municipal waste and health care waste.<\/p>\n – To complement communication to the public<\/strong> towards co-responsibility in the sustainable management of municipal waste.<\/p>\nThe birth of ESGREM<\/strong><\/h3>\n
