11 Italy, Rimini: Action Plan The overall goals of the pilot action were three: to minimize the production of waste within the Province of Rimini; to sensitise citizens of the Province of Rimini about the topic of re-use by developing a strategy to connect the waste management company to social enterprises to offer a new service; to strengthen the activities of social enterprises in the field of re-use in order to increase their annual turnover and hire collaborators to develop the repair section of their business. Action Steps: Collection of reusable products: implemented in the main waste collection centre of Rimini Network of reuse centres: In order to coordinate reuse in the whole Province of Rimini, a network all public administration bodies have been created Communication campaign: launched in October 2012 in order to sustain the beginning of the service named Rimini Riutilizza! Repair services within reuse centres: not yet developed. At this stage it is just a second step of the pilot action and it will be implemented only if the first one will be successful. Procurement and retail/public relation have been easily developed while preparation for reuse has not. Organizations need collaborators which expertise is focalized on technical skills. These human resources are usually expensive and then it is difficult for the organizations to sustain that cost.

12 Hungary: Action steps Setting up technical workgroup(s) for the development of re-use (logistics, preparation for re-use, PR, sale, legal issues). Development of collection logistics for re-use (separated collection, avoiding further damage) Development of the accreditation system for re-use centres (Human health and safety and quality issues). Implementation of the national accreditation system Accreditation of re-use centres Development of a social system for the distribution of re-usable products for indigents (boundaries for support: amount of budget, sources, product scope, supported people) Financial sources for support for re-use (establishment of re-use centres, networks, logistics, social employment, social based sale, communication campaign) Establishment of re-use centres Communication campaign (importance of re-use, role of re-use centres/networks, importance of donation) Included in the National Waste Prevention Programme / National Waste Management Plan Reference: 2055/2013.
