HAZRED is a three-year European project co-funded by the EU Life Environment programme, which aims to help small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) prevent and reduce their production of hazardous wastes, saving them money in the process.

The project is working with six key industry sectors to set hazardous waste reduction targets and develop waste reduction plans to demonstrate the benefits of a sector-led approach and inform the practices of other EU member states.

The Environment Agency is leading the HAZRED project in partnership with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, the Irish Environmental Protection Agency, the Welsh Assembly Government, Envirowise, the Groundwork Foundation, SafetyKleen, and the Waste Recycling Group.
