Waste Management & Recycling Congress

Summary

Waste Management & Recycling Congress Europe is the biggest and most prestigious gathering of the modern waste management sector. This is where the top authorities meet to discuss and debate the most pressing challenges facing them today.

Event background:

Waste Management is an urban issue - a major problem for all European communities. As European society has grown wealthier, it has created more waste. Each year, the European Union alone throw away 1.3 billion tones of waste- some 40 million tones of it hazardous.

The European Waste Framework Directive and Waste Incineration Directive have now completed their revisions, with implications echoing throughout the waste industry. European States must maintain the momentum on waste management, because the cost of not doing do is rising fast.

According to the new targets set by the the European Parliament, 50% of municipal solid waste and 70% of waste from construction, demolition, manufacturing and other industries must be re-used or recycled by 2020. In principle any waste must, wherever possible, at least be recovered.

Evidently, there is plenty of scope for further innovation in recycling. New ideas and approaches will be needed, since many communities and organizations have set high recycling targets.

The market opportunities for the recycling industry are growing fast. And it is set to grow rapidly driven by tougher waste legislation and EU directives.

Be there when the new face of the industry is shaped!
