The Circular Economy Conference of the E.S.D.A.K. continues for the 2nd day.

The interest is expected to remain undiminished on the second day of the work of the Conference on "Regional Solid Waste Management Planning - Path to the Circular Economy",

organized by the Unified Waste Management Association of Crete (ESDAK) at the Cultural Conference Center of the Municipality of Heraklion.

On the first day of the work of the Conference, on Thursday, March 29, where the first presentations were presented, the speakers managed to arouse the interest of the audience to the absolute extent with their positions. The fact that the Experimental Tent hall of the Cultural Conference Center of the Municipality of Heraklion was emptied approximately 2 hours later than planned is characteristic!

Statement of the President of ESDAK H. Mamoulakis

The first day lived up to our expectations. I am sure that today, Friday, the participants will be completely satisfied with the presentations and we will all gain important knowledge, listen to interesting opinions and exchange opinions, ideas and proposals that will benefit our society. I therefore invite our fellow citizens who are able and willing to come to the Cultural Conference Center of Heraklion and from 10 am, to actively participate in our work.

The program for Friday, March 30, in detail
