Awareness and training are key pillars of CEGEDI’s strategy to ensure sustainable industrial waste management. By acting upstream, the center helps reduce waste generation, improve source sorting, and actively engage all stakeholders: companies, employees, local authorities, and communities.

Training for Better Sorting
CEGEDI organizes targeted training sessions for

• Industrial company employees, teaching best practices for on-site waste sorting
• Collection staff, ensuring proper handling and segregation from the first contact
• Environmental and safety managers, integrating waste management into company procedures

Beyond the professional context, CEGEDI also conducts community awareness campaigns in areas with high industrial activity or near treatment sites. These initiatives aim to:

• Promote eco-friendly practices (selective sorting, waste reduction, good habits)
• Inform communities about the risks of poorly managed waste
• Encourage active citizen participation in environmental protection

These activities take the form of meetings, workshops, radio programs, visual materials, and school campaigns.

A Lasting Impact on Environment and Society
Through these training and awareness efforts:

• Waste is better sorted at the source, facilitating recovery and recycling
• Companies become active contributors to environmental preservation
• Communities develop a sustainable ecological culture

CEGEDI thus promotes a culture of behavioral change and collective responsibility regarding environmental challenges.
