Introduction, challenges and outline of the
project
Why do we need an European portal for waste
management?

• Numerous data and information sources in the
  waste management sector are available on
  European, national, regional and municipal level
• The data and information sources are
  heterogeneous concerning format, content and
  structure (data bases, documents, web sites...)
  - the different level of information complicate
  their efficient use
• Lack of flexible network infrastructure to
  bundle the sources of information - the data
  cannot be used effectively
• Fast demand for international and national data
  and information on all aspects of waste
  management
