6th International Conference on Waste Management and the Environment

Waste management is becoming one of the key problems of the modern world, an issue that is intensified by the volume and complexity of waste discarded by society‘s domestic and industrial activities. Unfortunately, many of the practices adopted in the past were aimed at short-term solutions without sufficient regard or knowledge for long term implications on health, the environment or sustainability and this, in many cases, leads to the need to take difficult and expensive remedial action. Waste Management 2012 will provide a forum for the discussion of the most advanced research and applications in this field. It will be of interest to researchers and practitioners from industry and governmental organisations involved with the management, treatment and impact of waste on the environment and society as a whole.
