INTRODUCTION
ThetransnationalSWOTanalysiswasproducedwithintheframeworkoftheLowCostZeroWaste
Municipality project cofunded by the European Regional Development Fund. Its focus was to
provideLocalAuthoritieswithatransnationalSWOTAnalysisofdifferenttypesofsustainablesolid
waste management practices. It focuses on evaluating the common strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats of the different practices and policies for local authorities across the
boardwhenappliedindifferentareas,regionsandcountriesofEUMemberStates.
Forthispurpose:
The inventory of fact sheets on policy, practices and technologies was collected by the
projectpartnersandevaluated.Thisispresentedinpart2ofthisdocument.

Description:
"Retorna" Network was established as a lobby for defending the implementation of a
Return,Collection,andRecoverySystemforlightpackaginginCataloniaandSpain.
2.ACTORS
"Retorna" Network was established with the support of over 50 local authorities, 40
associations,andvarioussupramunicipalorganizationsanduniversities.
Their role is lobbying to the Ministry of Environment, Rural and Marine Environment to
influence the planned reform of the law on packaging and packaging waste in order to
introducetheimplementationofanSDDRinSpain.
3.BENEFICIARIES

4.OBJECTIVES
1.Encourageachangeofmodellegislationandwastemanagement,especiallyinpackaging,

2.AsafirststeptopromoteaReturn,Collection,andRecoverySystemforpackaging.
3. Promote discussion and encourage membership among local Campaign (motions and
agreements), municipal associations, economic actors involved, universities, institutions,
civic organizations and civil society to address a change of management model and
regulationofwastesandpackaginginthecountryandCatalonia.
4. Disseminate information and awareness activities to the whole of Catalan society about
excessive consumption of resources and the need to reduce the "ecological rucksack" of
packaging.
5.CoordinatewiththeSpanishRedtorna.

Automatic Collection: returning machines are installed in areas of great affluence. These
machines count, classify, and compact packaging at source. The waste containers are
generally sent by reverse logistics distribution to the central and from there sent to
recyclers.

management of municipal waste and enough technical knowledge to raise and lead a

The SDDR is a system that encourages the return of certain containers by fixing deposit
