European waste sector assistant

Objective

The project EUWAS focuses on the efficient use of existing public data for effective cross-border data management in the waste sector through establishing an assisting Internet platform. This approach guarantees transparency and easy access to relevant databases and information. Through intelligent collection and suitable preparation and presentation of existing waste databases EUWAS provides the following services:

- Partner search and supplier forums;
- Step by step guides with user-friendly instructions for handling data;
- Developing waste management plans;
- Preparing tenders in the waste sector.

A pilot implementation evaluates and guarantees the portal's practicability. Target groups for EUWAS will be local and regional authorities as well as the waste industry, especially SMEs. The development of a suitable Business Model guarantees the efficient application of revenue creating mechanisms such as personalised access, training measures and advertising.
