Project Integra is a unique partnership between Hampshire County Council, the two Unitary Authorities of Southampton and Portsmouth, the 11 District Councils, and Veolia Environmental Services.

Hampshire was hailed as an example of good practice for its partnership approach to waste management in the 2002 government strategy report 'Waste Not Want Not'.  In addition, in 2000-2001, the first year of the awards, Project Integra was attributed 'Beacon Council Status' in the category 'sustainable development - dealing with waste'.

Since Project Integra was adopted, significant milestones have been achieved.
