Waste management is an important dimension of environment protection. According to the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC, WM strategies must aim primarily to prevent the generation of waste. The waste should be treated as secondary raw material, reused, recycled, recovered or used as an energy source. As a final resort, waste should be disposed of safely by incineration or in landfills.

The aim of the project is the education of the target groups: representatives from waste or environmental department within municipalities, VET schools and decision makers, for sustainable WM in line with the national and EU policies and in long-term contributing to the development and management of waste resources on both a local and global scale.
