WORM is built on 11 Work Packages (WP).
Each of them is designed to maximize the expected results.
The project is structured over 3 phases
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
WP1
Scoping
Leader: Hanken
WP1 establishes the baseline for this and other WPs, thereby seeking to:
- Assess the scope of use of bio-based innovative technological solutions and bio-based systems in relation to WORM’s use cases (field hospitals, and waste picking humanitarian livelihood programmes).
- Prioritise product groups relevant to WORM’s use cases, and conduct a life cycle assessment of these.
- Scope the supply market for relevant bio-based solutions.
- Assess the technical and economic viability of proposed bio-based alternatives.
WP2
Procurement
Leader: Solvoz
WP2 focuses on procurement as an essential gatekeeper for waste avoidance, thereby seeking to:
- Establish a framework and identify sustainability criteria for the evaluation of product groups in humanitarian procurement.
- Integrate these sustainability criteria in a humanitarian e-procurement platform.
- Further develop procurement guidelines and technical specifications for comparative bid analyses to appropriately evaluate bio-based alternatives.
WP3
Innovation
Leader: IN
WP3 focuses on a variety of business models engrained in local socio-economic settings, seeking to:
WP4
Waste Management at field hospitals
Leader: RMIT VN
WP4 focuses on Waste Management at field hospitals, seeking to:
WP5
Recycling and Waste Management at field hospitals
Leader: Hanken
WP5 continues the work with field hospitals, seeking to:
- Develop standard operational procedures (SOPs) for the use, reuse, recycling, and reverse logistics of products incl. bio-based solutions at field hospitals.
- Develop handover SOPs for field hospitals to local partners.
- Develop Waste Management guidelines and policy recommendations for managing medical waste at field hospitals.
WP6
Mitigation and livelihoods
Leader: KLU
WP6 focuses on mitigation and livelihoods, and seeks to:
WP7 & WP8
Communication
Leader: Euronovia
WP7 & WP8 focus on DCE (dissemination, communication, exploitation), outreach, and advocacy activities, and seeks to:
- Ensure maximum visibility of the project through tailored communication activities in order to raise awareness about the potential of WORM and reach out to society and show its impact and benefits.
- Disseminate to the target groups the aim of WORM, the activities carried out in the project, the available outputs, as well as the knowledge created.
- Promote open access and re-use of data used by WORM.
- Run a local awareness campaign in the community to ensure the proper treatment of esp. medical waste.
WP9 & WP10
Project management
Leader: Hanken
WP9 is comprised of all project management-related activities, and seeks to:
WP11
Ethics requirement
Leader: Hanken
The objective is to ensure compliance with the 'ethics requirements' set out in this work package.
