EU breathes LIFE into environmental technologies

The European Commission has announced that it has selected 89 innovation projects out of the 534 applications it received from public and private organisations to finance environmental innovation projects under the LIFE-Environment programme.

With 27 million euros (39% of the total), waste management amounts to a substantial part of the 71 million euros the Commission has promised to spend on LIFE-Environment. EU countries will provide the remaining sums for a total of 220 million euros.
