Solution: Weighing household waste. Owner: Municipality of Crozon. Circular Strategy: Reduce.
Description
This service is based on the implementation of a system of weighing residual household waste (RHW) for door-to-door collection, coupled with an incentive rate. All citizens will have to choose their annual package and pay the difference if this is exceeded.
The sorting of biowaste at source will reduce the weight of RHW collected and thus reduce the cost of collection for users.

Potential circular economy impact
If this system is implemented, citizens will have to reduce their volume of biowaste in order to avoid paying a high fee. This system will therefore encourage all citizens to implement measures to reduce their biowaste.
