What the network works on…

LAPN projects focus on all types of resource efficiency and waste prevention including food, material, water and energy.

The work of the network aligns closely with the circular economy and the idea that we can ‘do more, with less’.

Waste prevention is a crucial step when it comes to improving and preserving the world around us.

Reducing the amount of resources we extract from the Earth, while maintaining our quality of life, is a critical aspect in the fight against climate change.

Introducing waste prevention in our households, communities, and businesses will help us create a more sustainable Ireland, and a brighter tomorrow for our future generations.
