Theme: Globalisation, Urban Metabolism and Waste Management

The conference will address the challenges faced by urban cities, and discuss solutions and technologies available for a rapidly-urbanising Asia, from the perspective of lessons learnt and distilled into good practices, and the support provided by technological developments in waste management.

The conference aims to address the problem of waste management in cities, especially rapidly urbanising ones, to highlight the challenges and the difficulties that do exist, to outline emerging solutions and best practices and, finally, to provide "road maps" and strategic guidance for successful waste management. The theme of the WasteMET Asia – ISWA Beacon Conference is thus titled "Globalisation, Urban Metabolism and Waste Management".


Conference Objectives

  • To outline how globalisation affects waste management in rapidly developing cities
  • To provide a better understanding of rapidly developing cities, especially to their characteristics that are linked with waste management e.g. their dynamics and growth, the urban poverty nexus, the urban governance etc.
  • To highlight the Waste Management Challenges for different types of cities (mature, transitional, and emerging) with special focus to:
    • Pace of development and strategic planning.
    • The effects of scale to waste management practices.
    • The role of informal sector.
    • The options for waste management solutions based on cost-benefit e.g. landfill, incineration, resource recovery, Waste-to-Energy.
    • The most promising technologies and emerging solutions to address increasing waste quantities and climate change.
    • Trends in legislative and industry development to support technology adoption and resource recovery
  • To demonstrate how urban metabolism concepts and other similar tools and approaches can be helpful in addressing waste management problems in rapidly developing cities

Who Should Attend

  • Policy Makers
  • Private sector waste management practitioners
  • Academics/ students in the field of waste management.
