Seventh International Conference on Waste Management and the Environment, Ancona, Italy
12 May 2014 - 12 May 2014
United Kingdom
The Seventh International Conference on Waste Management and the Environment will take place from 12 to 14 May 2014 in Ancona, Italy.
As European society has grown wealthier it has generated an ever-increasing amount of waste. Each year in the European Union alone EU citizens throw away 3 billion tonnes of waste - some 90 million tonnes of it hazardous. This amounts to about 6 tonnes of solid waste for every man, woman and child, according to Eurostat. It is clear that treating and disposing of all this material - without harming the environment - is becoming a major headache.
The effects of current waste disposal and a movement towards greater accountability for effective waste management require better practices and safer solutions. This creates a need for more research on current disposal methods that are currently used and available.
The conference will be a forum for the exchange of scientific information and work on the current situation of waste management amongst professionals, researchers, government departments and local authorities.For further information, please visit
