 WRAP will be taking to the field in the Waste World Cup 2005 as it did in last year's tournament |
Qualifiers include some of the biggest waste management companies operating in the UK, the major industry trade associations as well as representatives of local and central government.
Announcing the teams today, Organising Committee president Dr Margaret Bates said: “This year should see some quality competition with some major organisations looking to take the trophy away from last year's winners, Biffa. As in previous years the tournament will emphasise the importance of fair play, maintaining its reputation as the premier sporting fixture for the waste and recycling sector.”
