Waste Management
Our experts advise on strategy development, Capacity Development and implementation of Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) Systems in cooperation with local organisations and government institutions. Sustainability is at the core of our ISWM. It is very sensitive to the scale of service provisions, the adoption of the local laws and inter-municipal cooperation which are essential to successful implementation of ISWM systems.
Skat has been working in the solid waste management sector for last 25 years and also runs the secretariat of Collaborative Working Group or CWG.
