Global Waste Management Conference

INTEGRATING PEOPLE, PLANET & PROFIT IN MANAGING WASTE AND RESOURCE RECOVERY

Achieving Zero-Waste Cities will require radical changes to the cradle-to-grave concept, a product lifecycle process from product creation to product usage and to product disposal. The efficacy of the Zero-Waste Cities strategy lies in a multi-stakeholder commitment from manufacturers in sourcing materials that preserve value, minimize environmental impacts and conserve natural resources; to industry playing the stewardship role of purchasing responsibly; and finally, cities to lead by devising public policies and stakeholder incentives that encourage the adoption of the zero-waste system.

The 3rd Global Waste Management Conference under the overarching theme ‘Advancing Towards Zero-Waste Cities’ will once again gather policymakers, international experts and global industry practitioners to strategize, chart directions and craft-out new frameworks to achieve a zero-waste target.
