Entitled "Waste Symposium 2003", the event will be held at Cutlers Hall, Sheffield, UK from 29th June to 2nd July 2003.
Building on the success of previous conferences on incineration and flue gas treatment, Waste Symposium 2003 is the fourth in the series and will provide a forum for discussion on the entire range of sustainable waste management solutions.
Waste management is a subject that arouses considerable public concern and much effort is being made to change the way in which developed societies consume energy and materials, and dispose of waste.
Waste Symposium 2003 will bring together researchers and professionals from around the world to discuss the latest waste management technologies.
Waste Symposium 2003 is run in partnership with the Sheffield University Waste Incineration Centre (SUWIC) and Southampton University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
The event will provide a forum to exchange ideas and an opportunity to network with the leading players in this increasingly sensitive topic.
"Sustainability will not be achieved without a step change in the efficiency of resource use and radical re-think on approaches to waste", says Professor Jim Swithenbank, SUWIC Director and conference chairman.
"Waste Symposium 2003 will not only focus on the revolution of existing technologies but will feature the latest research results in an area so crucial in achieving a sustainable future".
Some of the papers likely to arouse considerable interest include: "A society rejects the incineration of solid waste", by Juniper Consultancy Services, and "Convincing a sceptical public on energy recovery from waste: recent case studies", by the Environment Agency.
