Background

HAZTRAIN is a transnational environmental training project co-funded by the European Commission Leonardo da Vinci Community Vocational Training Action Programme (IRL/04/B/F/PP-153225).
Led by the Clean Technology Centre (CTC), Cork Institute of Technology, HAZTRAIN aims to build upon a paper based tool which CTC developed with the Irish EPA to provide a procedure for the identification of the hazardous components of waste in Ireland. This CTC tool has been generally accepted as a very worthwhile method for hazardous waste identification and has been widely utilised by companies, the EPA and local authorities in Ireland since its availability. It has also been updated several times since its initial launch in 2001.
