The Municipality of Serres, as the lead partner of the project “Green Employment in the\u00a0management of Biowaste” with Acronym Green Crew, co-funded by the VA INTERREG\u00a0Greece-Bulgaria 2014-2020 Program, successfully implemented the SMART EDUCATION\u00a0action, having as a main objective to inform participants concerning the social economy and
\nthe management of bio-waste through social entrepreneurship\u00a0Training week included presentations of representatives from the Municipality of Serres,\u00a0specialized waste management scientists, professors from the Technological Educational
\nInstitute of Central Macedonia, as well as speeches by members of the Social Cooperative\u00a0Societies from both Serres and Thessaloniki.<\/p>\n
On the first day of the action, the Mayor of Serres Petros Angelidis, welcomed the\u00a0participants and then stated that & Through this action, the Municipality of Serres aims to\u00a0raise awareness of both the stakeholders and the citizens \/ individuals concerning the\u00a0alternative waste management with economic and environmental benefits . Also, in the\u00a0framework of the project, a pilot biodegradable composting unit is going to be operated in\u00a0the Municipality of Serres for demonstration purposes , in order to inform local farmers\u00a0about the benefits of composting.<\/p>\n
After welcoming the participants, Deputy Mayor Pantelis Chrapas, stressed the need for\u00a0environmental responsibility by citizens in order to achieve a sustainable green and\u00a0competitive economy.<\/p>\n
The Municipal Councilor of the Programming and Development Department of the\u00a0Municipality of Serres, Konstantinos Karpoutchis, expressed his pleasure for the practical\u00a0interest shown by young people participating in the specific action of the Municipality and\u00a0stressed that; The transition to cyclical economy is the bet of our times and one of the\u00a0biggest challenges in the world, in order to build a truly viable growth model. In this context,\u00a0as a Municipality, we have given special attention to the opportunities and prospects\u00a0opened for our place in this new production model, since it is easy to realize that a\u00a0prefecture like Serres, which basically relies on agri-food activity, could exploit much of the\u00a0waste from agricultural and livestock farming in a cyclical economy model.<\/p>\n
It is noteworthy that during the training week a visit was made to the landfill Site in\u00a0Palaiokastro, Serres, where participants had the opportunity to tour its premises and watch\u00a0the process of weighing litter, depositing them in the cell and covering them. In addition,\u00a0they were informed about the environmental monitoring of the site and the controls it\u00a0includes. At the same site, they visited the Waste Treatment Unit (MEA), which will use a\u00a0modern, high-tech waste management system significantly reducing the amount of residue\u00a0that will end up in CYYY, while its operation is expected soon.<\/p>\n
On the last day of the action, a visit was made to Nigrita Bioenergy SA, an electricity\u00a0company, through the exploitation of agricultural and animal wastewater as well as\u00a0wastewater from cheese and oil press. A guided tour was conducted and the participants\u00a0were informed about its turnover.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”783″ img_size=”400×300″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”782″ img_size=”400×300″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”781″ img_size=”400×300″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”780″ img_size=”400×300″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”779″ img_size=”400×300″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”778″ img_size=”400×300″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
