In the Interreg EMR project ‘From Waste 2 Profit’ five partners, POM Limburg (BE), LIOF (NL), EFA (G) and Zenit (G), cooperate to strengthen companies’ waste management in the Meuse-Rhine Euregion. To achieve this goal grants are offered to SMEs for having an audit conducted of their waste streams.
All SMEs can apply for a voucher to have a waste audit conducted. The ‘From Waste 2 Profit’-project will create a permanent pool of six waste auditors who will conduct these on-site audits on the SMEs. To create this pool POM Limburg is planning to award a framework agreement resulting from a public procurement for services with a European publication.
