Conference Transfer of waste management concepts and technologies
IFAT – World’s Leading Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Waste and Raw Materials Management
Transfer of waste management concepts and technologies (Bulgaria, Iran, Croatia and Turkey)
About the Workshop: The half-day workshop programme includes presentations by the German Environment Agency (UBA), the German RETech Partnership, representatives from the four project countries as well as adelphi and INTECUS. The objective is to present the main project findings and to provide a platform for intensive exchange between international waste management actors.
About the Project: Emerging economies and young EU member states that have experienced economic growth and increasing consumption rates often encounter development lags in their waste management systems. Germany has pledged to support these countries in the development of advanced waste management systems. As part of these efforts, the German Environment Agency (UBA) has funded and implemented the project between March 2015 and June 2018 together with its project partners (adelphi research GmbH, INTECUS GmbH, Environmental Policy Research Centre (FFU) at Freie Universität Berlin/ Germany).
Target Audience: Recycling and disposal companies, waste management technology and service providers with business interests in the respective countries, and national stakeholders in the project countries such as representatives of relevant ministries and municipalities, waste management associations and scientists.
