Description
Waste Management has become one of the key issues of the modern world, an international issue that is intensified by the volume and complexity of domestic and industrial wastes. There is need for more research on current disposal methods such as landfills, incineration and chemical treatment, but also on recycling, waste minimization, clean technologies, waste monitoring, public and corporate awareness and general education. ICWEM 2010 is being organized by the China Civil Engineering Society (CCES), the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) and the Tongji University. It is a conference for experts, engineers and related professionals engaged in professional activities related to environmental management, environmental sustainability, the control of air, water and land pollution, and the design, construction and operation of waste disposal facilities (land/water/air).Goals:
1. To advance the understanding and application of engineering with respect to sustainable development in general, and environmental engineering and management in particular.
2. To advance integrated approaches to waste management, as appropriate, for different waste streams.
3. To promote the exchange of technical, scientific and professional knowledge on waste engineering and management to better serve the interests and welfare of CCES, HKIE, and CSCE members, the engineering profession in general, and the public in China, Hong Kong, Canada, and throughout the world.
