Environmental Policy Support Tool for Recycling in Islands (R.E.P.T.)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
Background
Small island countries are characterised by a small size of population and land area and they generate a relatively limited volume of waste. These characteristics make waste management relatively expensive and can render the implementation of specific waste recovery and recycling schemes economically unfeasible. Small islands often rely more on ...
