SWMP Introductory Workshops

Early in 2006, WRAP and Envirowise provided a series of 15 regional workshops for managers who were interested in finding out more about how SWMPs could help them address their waste arisings. These workshops provided both background and hands-on experience of developing their own SWMPs.
