ICWMT is an important international platform for specialists and
officials to discuss scientific problems, exchange experiences, and look for
innovative solutions. Initiated by Basel Convention Regional Centre for Asia
and the Pacific, ICWMT has been held 10 times since its inception in 2005. On a
yearly basis, ICWMT is known to attract a great number of participants from governments, research institutions, universities and
industries. There were more than 500 delegates from nearly 30 countries
participating in ICWMT10.
The ICWMT11 will be held at Beijing,
China on October 21-24, 2016. The theme of ICWMT11 is “Green ŸLow-carbon ŸCircular ŸDevelopment”. Specialized experts and government officials will be
invited to give keynote speeches on the pressing issues of solid waste; this
will in turn provide the opportunity to share and exchange ideas among
participants. In addition, free technical field trips to e-waste and hazardous
waste treatment plants will be arranged.
