The A2U Food Project is a food waste management plan adopted by the City of Heraklion under the Urban Innovative Actions by the Urban Lab of Europe.The amount of visitors that the city receives each year demands the city to implement a holistic solid waste management plan such as the A2U. A2U proposes a holistic waste management scheme using the following methods: (i) reduction of avoidable food waste; (ii) utilization of unavoidable food waste as raw materials; and (iii) proper management of unavoidable food waste. To implement these plans, the city of Heraklion has introduced software and hardware (e.g., compostable bags, autonomous composting units) to help families and the hospitality sector to reduce food waste. The city aims to reduce food waste by 1% in households and 2-3% in the hospitality sector. Also, the city aims to divert 2.5% of unavoidable food waste to composting annually.
