At the beginning of April a group of LIFE FitforREACH-2 project experts visited the largest solid waste landfill in the Baltic States – “Getliņi”, which is currently developed as a modern waste management centre. The aim was to trigger the exchange of good practice examples among project experts from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland about operation practice with unsorted household waste streams and how to manage the risk related to hazardous substances from waste to secondary materials.

The LIFE Fit for REACH-2 (FFR-2) project, which aims to improve chemical risk management (CRM) and sustainable practices in businesses, is making strides beyond the Baltic region.

LIFE Fit for REACH - 2 project offers companies from Baltic States and Poland support to improve the management of chemical substances.

On 7th of November 2024, an international workshop organized by LIFE FitforREACH-2 brought together waste management experts, processors, ministries, and industry stakeholders from the Baltic States and Poland.

On 6th of November the second consortium meeting for the LIFE FitforREACH-2 project was held in Riga, Latvia. It brought together 38 participants from partner organizations to review the first year of progress and plan the next steps. 

In June – July, we organized first series of round table meetings in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland to introduce the project and its activities with companies, and to exchange viewpoints with national authorities to benefit the project implementation in countries. As an outcome from these discussions here we highlight some topics of relevance for the common project success.
