RELIABLE DATA FOR
WASTE MANAGEMENT

International Conference September 25-26, 2008

> Presentations

Purpose and scope

Reliable data on the composition of wastes and waste derived products becomes more and more important since utilization of waste-derived materials increases rapidly. A liberalized market needs quality assurance for secondary products as well as accurate specifications of competing waste treatment processes. Recent methods of waste analysis are known to fail e. g. in cases of large heterogeneity and will not be able to meet future requirements. This conference aims at discussing the state of the art in waste analysis to define the relevant challenges and research issues within this field. While the focus will be on novel approaches for waste analysis, the following three aspects will be discussed, too:
1. knowledge base for goal oriented waste management,
2. reliable and robust methods for waste analysis,
3. putting analytical methods and knowledge base into practice.

Addressees

Waste managers and experts; members of authorities engaged in waste regulation and analysis; laboratories performing waste sampling and analysis; organizations and experts active in standardization; researchers focusing on advanced methods of waste analysis; experts in auditing and certification of waste management companies; risk assessment professionals; instructors engaged in waste management education on all levels.
