Local Authority Prevention Network Projects 2019

The Local Authority Prevention Network (LAPN) programme, which started as a pilot in 2005, is now a well-established network involving all local authorities in Ireland. Through LAPN the EPA provides grant aid, training, technical support and networking to local authority staff with a view to building the capacity and expertise necessary to drive sustainability and waste prevention at local level.

Below is a list of the projects funded in 2019 which fall under the thematic priority prevention areas of food waste, plastics waste and construction & demolition waste within the National Waste Prevention Programme. The 2020 grant awards are currently being finalised and will be announced shortly.
