REPT – DST: Decision Support Tool
for Recycling in Islands
Overview
This Decision Support Tool (DST) for waste management was developed during the
development of the project ‘Environmental Policy Support Tool for Recycling in Islands
(REPT)’. The project is co-funded by the EC through the LIFE + Environmental Policy and
Governance program.
The DST is developed to provide national and local authorities as well as private
organizations with a tool able to assist decision making in waste management related
activities. The tool allows for the assessment of both financial and environmental factors
thus assisting the user to identify the most environmentally friendly waste management
options.
As part of a greater project focused on recycling in islands, the DST was developed having in
mind its application in state islands and countries that include islands. However, its
application is not limited to use by any country or local authority or even private
organizations and individual users.
The DST is provided with a database that includes example applications of the Green Dot
Organizations of the four countries participating in this effort: Cyprus, Malta, Greece and
France and data relevant to the waste management of Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) and municipal Packaging Waste.
