WASTEvision 2020: "Urban Mining - Resources from Waste".
Swiss waste management is of a high standard and serves as a role model. Nevertheless, waste still gets into the environment, e.g. through littering, illegal disposal of bulky waste, or through transport by wind and water.
The aim of WASTEvision 2020 is to address topics related to the well-functioning Swiss waste management system, while also taking psychological aspects into account. The presentations form the basis for a discussion among the participants as well as with the speakers. Individual program focal points:
- Psychology of Littering (Ralph Hansmann, Environmental Psychologist, ETH Zurich)
- The morning after... (Dominik Egli, Head of Stadtreinigung Basel Stadt)
- Effective measures against littering (Nora Steimer, Executive Director IG saubere Umwelt)
- Illegal bulky waste in the environment (Richard Nyffeler, Waste Controller City of St. Gallen)
- Plastic flows in Swiss agriculture (Thomas Bucheli, Head of Research Group Environmental Analysis, Agroscope)
- Green plastic is not green waste! (Andreas Utiger, Managing Director Biomasse Suisse)
- Contents among others
An important aspect of WASTEvision is networking. Following the conference, you can make the return journey together with other participants and speakers by course boat. Experience has shown that the relaxed and informal atmosphere on Lake Zurich provides an ideal opportunity to refresh old contacts and make new ones.
Join us for the symposium on urban mining on September 18, 2020.
Here you will get to the registration.
