The 2ND International Conference on Waste Engineering and Management

(First Announcement and Call for Papers) Tongji University, Shanghai, China 13-15 October 2010

Introduction
Waste management has become one of the key issues of the modern world, an international issue that is intensified by the volume and complexity of domestic and industrial wastes. There is a need for more research on current disposal methods such as landfills, incineration and chemical treatment, but also on recycling, waste minimization, clean technologies, waste monitoring, public and corporate awareness and general education. ICWEM 2010 will be organized by the China Civil Engineering Society (CCES), the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) and Tongji University. The conference is of particular interest for experts, engineers and related professionals engaged in professional activities related to environmental management, environmental sustainability, the control of air, water and land pollution, and the design, construction and operation of waste disposal facilities (land/water/air).
