Project Summary
REPT project brings together the island states of Cyprus and Malta as well as the countries of Greece and France. One of the main aims of the project is the development of a decision support tool that will allow national authorities and other involved stakeholders to calculate the environmental benefit and financial cost of alternative ways of waste management, especially focusing on packaging waste (paper, glass, plastic and metals) and waste from electrical, electronic equipment (cooling equipment, CRT screens and fluorescent lamps). This tool will be applicable to state islands and countries with many or distant islands in order to assess and determine the optimal economic and environmental solutions.
