Rethinking Rubbish: Tackling our waste issues together
We received EU funding to carry out this project with our partners in the UK and France. It ran between December 2004 – September 2007.
The aim of the project was to build a cross-border partnership to work and learn together about current waste management issues and:
- develop solutions that can be used by others in the region
- exchange good working practices
- increase public awareness of waste issues.
Results and outcomes
The project had a number of themes on which the partners worked and learnt together.
You can read about the outcomes of the project, including bi-lingual case studies in our report:
