SUGAR - SOFTWARE FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING OF REUSE CENTERS IN EMILIA-ROMAGNA

The regional guidelines provided for the possibility for the Region to provide municipal reuse centres with a regional information system to be used for the management of their activities. The Region, also in order to promote projects for the reuse of goods at the end of life and to promote municipal reuse centres, has created an information system called SUGAR for the management of municipal reuse centres registered in the regional list. The reuse centres registered in the Regional Directory can access this information system free of charge by applying for membership of the ReUSER network (Sugar Emilia-Romagna Users' Network). Among the integrations to the regulations to make the Centres more performing, there the simplification of the access and the elimination of the cataloguing forms, the possibility to use standard weights as an alternative to the weighing of goods, the possibility to carry out educational activities aimed at enhancing the value of used goods and finally, as said, the preparation by the Region of a software for the management of the activity and the reporting of data that can be used by municipal and non municipal centres of reuse.
