About the Sardinia Symposia
The Sardinia Symposia were established in 1987 and rapidly became the Reference Forum in the field of Waste Management for the international community, where state of the art concepts, strategies and technologies are presented and experiences shared by leading scientists, administrators and practitioners.
The Symposia favoured the development of innovation in the field: all new ideas and approaches applied worldwide in the last two decades were thoroughly debated and reviewed during the numerous workshop sessions in the Symposia, some of them purposely organized in cooperation with IWWG Task Groups.
This edition of the conference is organised by IWWG (Internation Waste Working Group) with the scientific support of prestigious Universities such as University of Padova (IT), Tongji University (CN), Technological University of Denmark (DE), Fukuoka University (JP), University of Central Florida (US), Hamburg University of Technology (DE).
