3.2.8 Awareness raising campaigns to reduce the organic content of waste
The next stage of the recycling activities is the effort to reduce the amounts of organic waste
which is a significant source of GHG emissions. ASEZA will organize raise awareness campaigns
so that citizens understand the harmful impacts that the discarded food may cause during its
combustion in the landfill. The idea is to inform inhabitants how to separate organic waste
and persuade them to purchase composting bins in order to use their compost product in
domestic cultivation. Alternatively, the ASEZ Authority will install a number of bins in specific
areas to collect the organic waste and transfer them in composting units.
The awareness campaign will include the dissemination of messages through radio,
newspapers and television, especially using local media, launching of promotional material
(leaflets, brochures, posters) and perhaps billboard advertisements. Special events for
schoolchildren will be realized as well.

3.2.9 PVs in ASEZA buildings (500 ΚWp)
The solar energy potential for the country and the ASEZ is very high, thus the Authority has to
exploit this opportunity and install PVs to cover a part of ASEZA buildings’ electricity
consumption. The ASEZ Authority is planning to utilize the rooftops of its buildings besides
ASEZ main building, so as to install another 500 KW. The produced electricity from Renewable
Energy Sources like sun has zero emissions. Consequently the substitution of electricity
production source with alternative ones will contribute to the CO 2 reduction. Data on the
duration of the action, its cost and related figures on electricity production and CO 2 emissions
reduction are presented in the next table.

3.2.10 Green Municipal Building and Eco Science Park Awareness Raising
The aim of this action is the construction of an Eco-Science Park driven by environmental
obligations and incorporating a variety of demonstrative applications of Renewable Energy
Sources (RES), as well as the construction of a Green Building to house ASEZA services and
operate as best practice example, enhancing the living conditions of its employees and the
