SufalNet
For three years (2005-2007) 21 partners in 12 countries exchanged knowledge and discussed the best strategies to deal with closed landfills. To realize this, they started the project SufalNet and received financial support from the European Union (INTERREG IIIC). The overall objective of SufalNet is to reduce environmental risks and to stimulate re-use of closed landfills through exchange and dissimination of policies, projects and instruments. This website shows the endresult of SufalNet.
How to use this website
On this website you can learn about the end result of SufalNet. SufalNet delivered two different kind of results. First, the partners exchanged information about landfills in their own country, region or council. You can find this wide variety of experiences under 'landfill overview'. Second, the main partners modelled the most successful strategies in the front-running countries and reported their models under three headers: examination, aftercare and redevelopment. The lead partner connected the models with a general introduction (see 'model strategy'). Messages from SufalNet can be found under 'European level'. Read the results on the webpages and download the more elaborate papers on the right side of the webpages.
Integrated strategy available!
SufalNet has combined and summarized the three model strategies on the examination, aftercare and redevelopment in an integrated strategy document. It is intended for local and regional authorities, developers and the general public. You can download the document here: More
SufalNet4EU submitted in 2009
In 2008 the Province of Noord-Brabant initiated SufalNet for you as a follow up project with old and new partners from all over Europe. The application was submitted in January 2009 within the call for proposals of INTERREG IVC and the EU Commission's initiative Regions for Economic Change. It is hoped that this new project will lead to the redevelopment of numerous landfills across Europe.
