::: ACR+
The Association was created in Pamplona in May 1994 by a group of cities and regions lead by the Brussels-Capital Region. The Association’s name evolved from Association of Cities for Recycling (ACR-AVR) to current ‘Association of Cities and Regions for Recycling and for sustainable Resource management (ACR+)’ reflecting the evolution:
- from waste to products and resources, by encouraging prevention,re-use and recycling
- from EU-15 to Eastern countries and South-Mediterranean countries
- from public partnerships to multi stakeholders partnerships
The ACR+ (Association of Cities and Regions for Recycling and sustainable Resource management) is an International Network of local and regional authorities throughout the European territory and beyond. The association aims to promote the exchange of information and experiences on municipal waste management, and particularly on the prevention at source, recycling and recovery.
The ACR+ allows its members to stay in close contact with events and discussions held at the European level, notably by representing local and regional authorities in various forums and platforms of discussion with the European Commission.
