REUSEMED: surveys to identify barriers to reuse in Spain, Jordan, Tunisia and Italy
As part of the REUSEMED project, aimed at promoting the culture of reuse for environmental sustainability, green employment and solidarity, some surveys were administered to identify barriers to reuse in the project partner countries: Spain, Jordan, Tunisia, Italy. The questionnaires were administered in a mixed mode involving the CAWI (computer-assisted web interviewing) and CAPI (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviews) methods. This section illustrates the results of the surveys for each participating country.
REUSEMED: maps of facilities and resources dedicated to reuse/preparation for reuse in Spain, Jordan, Tunisia and Italy
The following documents show a map of facilities and resources dedicated to reuse/preparation for reuse in the partner countries (Spain, Jordan, Tunisia, Italy) of REUSEMED project, aimed at contributing to environmental protection in the Mediterranean area through the reduction of all fractions of municipal waste.
For the purposes of this work, the concepts of reuse and preparation for reuse have been considered as follows:
- Reuse: any operation by which products or components that are not considered waste are reused for the same purpose for which they were originally conceived;
- preparation for reuse: control, cleaning and repair operations whereby products or their components that have become waste are prepared for reuse without further intensive treatment.
The reports describe the territorial scopes, the regulatory situation regarding reuse in each region considered, regional activities related to reuse, government financial aid options in the context of overall waste management, some websites or mobile applications that facilitate the purchase-sale, donation, loan or exchange of products. There is also a list of entities dealing with reuse/preparation for reuse.
REUSEMED: good practices in reuse in the partner territories
With the aim to promote the culture of reuse for environmental sustainability, green employment and solidarity, REUSEMED project proposed to create municipal networks based on reuse circuits for home appliances, furniture, books, clothes, Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment and food. To set up the networks, 4 cities in Spain, Italy, Jordan and Tunisia have designed and tested composting installations, food collection points in markets, repair and reuse centers, reuse corners in shops and repairing cafés. The following document illustrates some good practices implemented in partner countries, with detailed descriptions, results achieved, challenges encountered and potential for learning or transfer.

Med4Waste Mentoring Scheme Report
Report about the implementation of the Med4Waste Integrated Waste Management Mentoring Scheme, with the participation of six sub-national public authorities from the Mediterranean Region.
Mapping and assessment of relevant local, regional and national policies in waste
This document encompasses the results of a mapping of policies and strategies on solid waste management across the 6 project partner countries of the ENI CBC Med funded project Med4Waste. These countries are Greece, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Spain and Tunisia. The work focused on reviewing recent national and municipal waste and circular economy policies and strategies, while also providing the context of each country. Links to the regional frameworks influencing directly and indirectly the national policy settings (EU, UfM, UNEP/MAP, etc.) have also been made.
Business Ecosystem Enabling Integrated Waste Management and Circular Economy Models Report
This report focuses on promoting sustainable business practices in the Mediterranean region. By analyzing the current state of waste management and circular economy models in Mediterranean countries, we aim to provide valuable insights and recommendations to policymakers and businesses on how to create more sustainable and efficient waste management systems.
