The global event by the International Solid Waste Association will take place in Singapore from Sep 21-23

Waste-to-energy is a much better alternative as the final sink than a landfill, says KANFA/Technip Energies' Johnny Stuen.

Waste-to-energy emerges as new form of investment into industry projects

It’s now possible to implement the energy recovery process on an even larger scale than before, says WTE expert Johnny Stuen

One area of technological improvement PhD research fellow Henrik Siepelmeyer is particularly excited about is improved sorting techniques and plants.

Common approaches needed to cut waste generation

Infrastructure, policy and behavioural insights need to come together

Green financing shows a clear shift, where financial institutions clearly favour circular and climate-friendly approaches when supporting industrial investment.

Circular economy key in battle against global warming

Recycling and composting is not enough to improve resource efficiency, says OVAM’s Christof Delatter

Dr Langen says waste-to-energy (WTE) strategies save primary resources by substituting coal, crude oil or natural gas.

New energy and the triple bottom line

Waste-to-energy technologies can be adapted to the needs of any location worldwide, says Dr Michael Langen of HTP Engineers

James Law, chair of the ISWA's Working Group on Landfill, says we must commit to promoting sustainable living in all nations.

Sustainable living key to tackling climate change

ISWA’s James Law explains how changing people’s mindsets and behaviours could just save the day

Circular fashion is apparel that is designed, sourced and produced with the intention of being used and circulated responsibly and effectively in society for as long as possible.

Circular fashion now in style

A new sustainable clothing movement is gaining momentum in Europe and beyond, says Siptex’s Anna Vilen

Roland Berger's Hani Tohme says: "To achieve circularity, you would need to rethink the current status quo to enable economic and ecological savings."

Circular economy, green financing the way forward

We can close the loop by bringing together ecology and economy, says Roland Berger’s Hani Tohme

In the absence of collection, plastics are finding their way into our waterways and oceans and, increasingly, into the global food chain.

Critical new technologies hold key to emerging energy trends

Waste-to-energy, sorting plants and biogas emerge at forefront as spotlight grows on waste management
