Do you work for an organisation or authority responsible for the inspection or enforcement of waste management and waste shipment legislation and are you interested in receiving the most up to date information, strategies and techniques?
The WasteForce project will now start with a series of training events on fighting illegal waste trafficking and waste crime. In total four training events will be held, three in Europe and one in Asia.
