Wales Public Sector Waste Minimisation Campaign.
The Wales Public Sector Waste Minimisation Campaign (PSWMC) aims to support public sector organisations in Wales with their work to reduce waste arisings generated as a result of their day-to-day operations in delivering services to the public.
On this website you will find tools such as the Carbon Calculator which will help you determine the Green House Gas (GHG) emission benefits of changing waste management practices.
You will also be able to find out how other public sector organisations in Wales are dealing with their waste arisings through case studies and the Green Stars. Download the Green Stars Posters or view the Green Stars case studies.
We will also provide you with relevant news, information and opportunities to get involved with other campaigns such as Every Can Counts, Recycle Zone and the Waste Production Survey.
The campaign is funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and managed by Envirowise.
The Resource Efficiency Equipment Fund competition is now CLOSED.
Specialist Support
Building upon the success of practical support provided to public sector organisations through the Public Sector Waste Minimisation Campaign in 2009/10, the Welsh Assembly Government has committed funding in 2010/11 to allow more public sector organisations to benefit from specialist one to one advice. If you would like to know more about the type of support available visit the Practical Resource Efficiency page of this website.
