The first ISWA Communication Award has been give to WasteSweden – the ISWA National Member from Sweden – for their campaign on hazardous waste. This first year edition of the Award was successful and many very high quality nominations were received.
The nomination panel including representatives from the ISWA Working Group, the ISWA Board and UNEP had a difficult work to appoint one of the campaigns as the winner. The contribution from WasteSweden was selected on the basis of its professionalism and it addressed a difficullt topic but a topic of high priority. Furthermore both internal and external communication were considered and the evaluation was of high quality.
More information about the campaign itself will soon be found on the ISWA Website as well as in Waste Management World.
The Communcation Award will handed out at the Annual Congress in Singapore.
In the autumn the award for 2009 will be launched!!
