Sustainable Solid WasteManagement

17-20 June 2020www.thessaloniki2020.uest.gr

THESSALONIKI2020

The Conference aims to address the signi�cant issue of sustainable solid waste management through the promotion of safe practices & e�ective technologies. The Conference focuses mainly on

modern solid waste technologies. It aims to stimulate the interest of scientists and citizens and inform them about the latest developments in the �eld of municipal solid waste management.

Separation at source, Biological Treatment, the treatment at central facilities, waste prevention, biowaste utilization, recycling promotion, Waste-to-energy technologies

& energy recovery, smart technologies for waste management, sludge management, agricultural and livestock waste, management of speci�c waste streams (construction &

demolition waste, waste from electrical and electronic equipment, etc.), biotechnology, Best Available techniques, symbiosis networks, energy consumption and saving, carbon footprint and water

footprint, zero-waste initiatives, plastics and bioplastics, marine litter constitute main conference subjects. Special attention will be drawn to the valorization prospects & the products from solid

waste, such as: biofuels, compost, materials, etc. It is also our ambition to strengthen the link of the applied research with industry. Hazardous waste & Household hazardous waste also constitute

target area of the conference. Emphasis will be placed on circular economy in all key action areas (production, consumption, waste management, secondary raw materials, innova-

tion, investment & monitoring) and all priority sectors (food waste, plastics, biomass and bio-based-products, construction & demolition waste, critical raw materials), as

well as waste management issues and resource e�ciency in islands and generally isolated and remote areas.

Special focus will be given to Biogas and Anaerobic Digestion. It is noted that the World Biogas Association represented Mr. David Newman, President, is co-organiser of the THESSALONIKI

2020 Conference. Join our brainstorming sessions chaired by Prof. Spyros Pavlostathis (Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta) & Prof. David Bolzonella (University of Verona) on

the latest advances in the �eld of anaerobic digestion by submitting your abstract on AD. Indicatively, potential authors can address AD related issues such as:Biogas: upgrading & utilization, Emerging AD technology, design, pretreatment, process control and modelling, Biore�neries including AD, Biohydrogen production, Valorization

routes & prospects for digestate, High rate anaerobic wastewater treatment, LCA and techno-economic analysis

The private sector & business will also have a very active role in the conference and a special session will be devoted to business opportunities and experiences from the leaders in the AD �eld all

over the world with the active contribution of the World Biogas Association.

The extensive Waste-to-Energy Sessions will be chaired by Prof. Marco Castaldi (City University of New York), Chair of the U.S. Waste to Energy Research and Technology Council

(WtERT-US) & Prof. Nickolas Themelis (Columbia University), Chair of the Global Waste to Energy Research and Technology Council (GWC).
