Day 3 of the SUSTAINSafe LTTA: Learning from Industry Best Practices!

The third day of the Learning, Teaching and Training Activity (LTTA) of the Erasmus+ project “SUSTAINSafe – Agro Hazardous Waste Education for a SUSTAINable and Safer Future” took participants beyond the classroom and into the real world of waste management and environmental compliance.

📍 Participants visited the facilities of @APOSTIROSIS S.A. in the Industrial Zone of Velestino, Volos, one of Greece’s leading companies in the field of hazardous waste treatment and environmental services.

During the visit, participants had the opportunity to gain first-hand insight into:

♻️ Hazardous waste management procedures

🛡️ Environmental protection measures

📦 Collection, transportation and treatment processes

📋 Regulatory compliance and safety requirements

🌍 Sustainable waste management solutions

A special highlight of the visit was the discussion with Mr. Moraitis, Head of the Factory, who shared valuable expertise and practical examples from the company's daily operations. Participants engaged in a fruitful exchange of ideas regarding the challenges and opportunities related to hazardous waste management, sustainability and environmental responsibility within the agricultural and industrial sectors.

🤝 The study visit provided an excellent opportunity to connect the theoretical knowledge gained during the LTTA with real-life applications and industry practices.

A sincere thank you to APOSTIROSIS S.A. and Mr. Moraitis for their warm welcome, hospitality and insightful presentation!
