Waste Management and Circular Economy Training
June 26 - June 30 \ 2023 : Istanbul
September 18—September 22\ 2023 : Istanbul
Introduction
Global consumption patterns with increasing complexity and volume of generated waste, urge for the need to continuously optimize waste management. The driving force behind this mobilization is primarily attributed to the ever-increasing climate change concerns and also the plethora of pollution incidents and their subsequent environmental effects. This, in turn, requires the coordination of activities of the different stakeholders including manufacturers, regulatory authorities, consumers and waste disposal companies.
This Waste Management and Circular Economy training course will focus on the contemporary waste management practices and will examine each of these in relation to applicability in different sectors of the economy. Particular reference will be made to the transition from the linear economy to the circular economy approach and the implications of this on the sustainable use of resources.
