ACR+ is an international network of members who share the common aim of promoting sustainable consumption of resources and management of waste through prevention at source, reuse and recycling. It currently has nearly 100 members, mainly local and regional authorities as well as national networks of local authorities representing around 1100 municipalities. ACR+ also welcomes other key players in the sustainable resource-product-waste management, such as NGOs, academic institutions or private organisations, as partner members. ACR+ allows its members to stay in close contact with events and discussions held at the European level, notably by representing local and regional authorities in various forums and platforms of discussion with the European Commission. ACR+ is based on three main principles : * sustainable development * prevention and recovery of waste * partnership between public authorities, private sector and general public . Through studies, bulletins, conferences and seminars, ACR+ allows its members to exchange practical information and experiences, to confront problems and solutions with experts in waste management of Europe and beyond.
