However, in many cases, internationally and in Greece, rehabilitation of abandoned quarries contributed in the creation of new, modern recreational and cultural multi-places.

Major challenges nowadays, both at national and at international level, are the rational management of waste and the penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in the energy mix. Biogas plants are modern technological units that combine the rational management of high organic load residues with the production of clean energy.

The field of municipal waste management is a crucial and long-term problem in Greece. However, due to the current difficult socioeconomic situation, the need for dealing with this issue is even more important. Waste prevention and selection at the source, as shown in the numerous examples of its applications, are effective methods which, combined with the participation of citizens and state support, can produce substantial results. Some efforts have already begun by a number of Municipalities and cooperative foundations.
