Italy's experience - vegetal waste, best practices for the Republic of Moldova [Articol]

Abstract

The management of vegetal waste has emerged as a critical global issue, with significant implications for environmental sustainability, food security, and economic development. Italy's experience demonstrates how innovative legislative frameworks, advanced recycling technologies, and public-private partnerships can effectively address the challenges of vegetal waste, transforming it into a valuable resource. This paper analyzes Italy’s best practices and explores their applicability to the Republic of Moldova, a country with substantial agricultural potential but lacking comprehensive waste management strategies. The study emphasizes the importance of adopting progressive legislation, enhancing public awareness, and leveraging technological innovations to reduce waste and promote circular economy principles. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to achieve sustainable development goals.
