EurAsia Waste Management Symposium seeks speakers

The Organizing Committee of the 5th EurAsia Waste Management Symposium is seeking presenters and presentations for its event, which will take place Oct. 26-28 in Istanbul.

The symposium is being organized by the Environmental Engineering Department of Yildiz Technical University and waste management firm ISTAC Inc. in collaboration with Turkey’s Ministry of Environment and Urbanization and the Hamburg, Germany-based International Waste Working Group (IWWG).

“EurAsia Waste Management Symposium will provide the opportunity to discuss and evaluate the current and future regional waste management strategies and recycling projects face to face,” say the organizers.

Nearly three dozen topics have been identified that can be addressed in abstracts to be considered as presentations, including:

• construction and demolition materials management;
• electronic scrap management;
• plastic scrap;
• packaging recycling;
• recycling of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs);
• biological treatment technologies (composting and anaerobic digestion);
• landfilling (including landfill gas management); and
• zero waste strategies.

Abstracts should be submitted via an online submission system on or before April 17. The length of the abstract should not exceed 9,000 characters and should be in English, which is the official language of the symposium.
