Wales Public Sector Waste Minimisation Campaign.
The Wales Public Sector Waste Minimisation Campaign (PSWCM) aims to support all 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.
Support available through PSWMC can be found and applied for through this website. Here 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 can also apply for the Resource Efficiency Equipment Fund (REEF) - support towards the purchase of equipment - and Specialist Support - on the ground specialist support to help you reduce a significant proportion of your waste arisings.
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.
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.
