Belgium, (Brussels Morning Newspaper) Efforts to tackle waste management and the growing problem of marine litter have been applauded by a senior MEP.
The issue of waste has rapidly moved up the political agenda in recent years and is now seen as a key priority for the European Union.
European efforts to address the problem are partly being spearheaded by LIPOR, the Intermunicipal Waste Management Service of Greater Porto in Portugal.
Over the past 40 years they have turned a landfill into a waste management facility, started making products and offered services to spread their success and model around the world.
