Education and Development project of Plastic Waste (+WEEE) Recycling

Closed

The project examines handling and recycling processes of plastic waste (SER-plastic granules) and surveys co-operation possibilities between Finland and Estonia. The key element of the project is to strengthen co-operation between the authorities as well as between the authorities and producers of plastic. The project supports establishing a know-how centre of recycling in Estonia, and methods of waste collecting and recycling will be developed in co-operation between the know-how centres in Finland and Estonia. Activities support implementing the EU directives in both countries. The project increases also understanding of the public about collecting and recycling of plastic waste. Management of plastic waste will be improved in the Southern Finland and Estonia, but also possibilities for and advantages of cross-border co-operation are to be surveyed.
