Press Release 1/2012: EcoPaperLoop Project Launched in Milan
Presentations from the Press Conference:
Graziano Elegir: Introduction to the project, partners, supporters and goals (Italian)
Axel Fischer: Overview about key issues and targets of the EcoPaperLoop project
Environment Commissioner Janez Potocnik:
“Many Member States are still landfilling huge amounts of municipal waste – the worst waste management option – despite better alternatives, and despite structural funds being available to finance better options. Valuable resources are being buried, potential economic benefits are being lost, jobs in the waste management sector are not being created, and human health and the environment suffer. This is hard to defend in our present economic circumstances.”
