Nantes zero waste strategy: citizen participation

A city that invites residents into the plan Nantes Métropole is building its zero waste strategy from the ground up, running public campaigns that centre citizen participation rather than top-down implementation. In partnership with Zero Waste France through the ERIC project, the city designs each phase of its action plan to include community input: from awareness-raising to feedback on reuse infrastructure. What the programme involves - Public campaigns explaining zero waste goals and inviting resident feedback - Working with local schools, community groups, and neighbourhood councils to co-design waste-reduction actions - Participation in the European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR), coordinating local events and visibility - Knowledge transfer with Lyon and Bordeaux as sister ERIC cities How to engage - Follow Zero Waste France for announcements on public consultations and participation events in Nantes - Contact Nantes Métropole's sustainability office to join citizen working groups on the zero waste strategy - Participate in EWWR events in November when the city amplifies its campaign Why it matters A strategy built with citizens is a strategy communities defend. Nantes' participatory model proves that large metropolitan zero waste plans can be co-created: and that civic engagement improves both the quality and durability of the outcomes.
