EUROPEAN TOPIC CENTRE ON SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION (ETC/SCP)

CRI is an independent body established by the Danish Ministry of the Environment in 1997, to act as the lead organisation in the Topic Centre. The mission of the Topic Centre is to provide reliable and comparable data and information on SCP, resource and waste management in Europe to decision-makers and the public. The European Topic Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production (ETC/SCP), established in 1997 as the ETC on Waste (in 2001 was renamed to ETC on Waste and Material Flows, then in 2005 to Resources and Waste Management and in January 2009 to SCP), is one of the five Topic Centres under the European Environment Agency.
