Presented below are the results obtained in Western Macedonia, which can be analyzed within the Biowaste Club of Kozani. These findings serve as a basis for transforming data into actionable improvement proposals, fostering collaborative efforts to co-create a more circular municipality.

Citizen science action for optimising the separate collection of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) in Western Macedonia

By analyzing users' decisions throughout the HOOP Trainers game, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the citizens' perspectives on biowaste separation, their acceptance of products derived from it, and their recommendations for constructing  greener and more circular cities and regions.
