Integrated Waste Management
In the UK, we are producing ever-increasing volumes of waste. How we deal with it is the subject of increasing environmental debate. Veolia Environmental Services works with Local Authorities in the UK, providing waste management solutions tailored to the requirements of the local community.
Veolia Environmental Services is working to raise awareness of waste and the ways in which we manage it. We encourage the public to take responsibility for the waste they produce, and actively promote the waste hierarchy of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Eco-Star.com has been developed as an educational resource, supporting the principles of integrated waste management in a way children can enjoy and understand. Based around a virtual community, all the games are backed up with Did You Know? trivia and quizzes, together with teachers' notes and ideas for lesson plans with cross-curricular links.
