LIFE IP RESTART will focus on overcoming the obstacles to achieving EU recycling targets, and on achieving the full implementation of the National Waste Management Programme and Waste Prevention Programme (WMPP) in Slovenia. The project’s main objective is to deploy a holistic set of complementary technical, digital, environmental, social and circular solutions to unlock all the potentials of the WMPP, to achieve maximum material self-sufficiency and increased circular yield in the waste-to-resource sector.

In order to achieve this main objective, project activities will be aimed at achieving three specific objectives:

1. to provide a continuous WMPP assessment mechanism and ensure its ongoing improvement and actualisation, based on digital, technical and social excellence established by the project;
2. to demonstrate 6 circular solutions for several problematic and voluminous waste streams, as best-case examples for implementing WMPP objectives;
3. to ensure wider uptake of best available solutions and to achieve a coherent and integrated implementation of WMPP objectives.

The project will contribute to the implementation of the EU Waste Framework Directive, Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe, European Green Deal, and the Circular Economy Action Plan for a cleaner and competitive Europe. The project involves 17 partners.
