Waste Management Forum 2010,UAE
by admin ·
Conference date:5- 6 December 2010
Conference Venue:Abu Dhabi-UAE
Conference country:UAE
Conference theme:
High consumption rates, coupled with high population growth rates of various cultural backgrounds, in turn fuelling expedited urban development and construction, pose a plethora of challenges for the agencies involved in waste management in the Middle East. With over 50 million tonnes of Municipal Waste which contributes to a total of over 200 million tonnes of waste generated in the region, the figures hold a grim reflection of the future of the environment as we see it today.Sustainability is the order of the day and in light of the growing scarcity of natural resources worldwide this has become essential. The development of innovative and efficient recycling processes has led to wastes becoming raw materials, which make good environmental and economic sense. Moreover, making the most of the material and energy potential of wastes benefits the climate considerably.
