Increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of enforcement actions aiming to disrupt illegal shipments of waste

Building capacity and coordinating EU-wide inspections on shipments of waste to intensify the operational collaboration and enforcement actions between law enforcement communities

Getting a better understanding of trend and patterns to develop strategies to prevent and disrupt the illegal waste trade by employing new tools to improve the flow of intelligence on illegal shipments and the actors involved

The LIFE SWEAP project

The Shipment of Waste Enforcement Actions Project (SWEAP) project is co-funded by the European Commission LIFE fund and co-ordinated by the IMPEL Network.
