- To explore and disseminate emerging technology and methods in solid waste treatment.
- Become a reference center in the field of technology in processing solid waste and waste into high-quality chemicals, fertilizers, renewable energy and other high-value materials.
The symposium topic includes but not limited to:
- Green technology
- Cleaner production
- Pollution prevention
- Physical separation and pre-treatment
