The implementation of the ACUA project, autonomous mechanical compactors for urban areas, is about the implementation of technology that (a) will support the development of screening systems at source that is more than two fractions now and (b) it can have an active and important role, even when central pretreatment processing units will develop. This technology will be implemented in all three municipalities involved (Municipality of Heraklion, Municipality of Rhodes and Limassol Municipality)
