THE Zero Waste Place initiative was announced as part of the Waste Strategy in May last year, which committed the Government to take forward the initiative as one of the measures to change behaviour across the country.
It is a simple way of reducing the environmental impact of waste.
The objective of the project is to identify and monitor six places to become examples of good environmental practice on all waste.
The participating places will work to identify the problems and illustrate solutions to enable others to adopt the most effective approach to zero waste, providing a year-end report in 2009.
