  WASTE MANAGEMENT AND EXPLOITATION - Convegno

  Waste management in the circular economy: applied research in recycling, recovery and integrated management

  The report of the European Environment Agency published in January 2016, "Circular economy in Europe - Developing the knowledge" highlighted the fact that the transition to a circular economy will bring benefits but also pose new challenges. Some critical materials, for which procurement is considered to become increasingly difficult in the near future, or others for which recycling is complicated by the combination of different characteristics (such as mixed plastics or some metal alloys) represent examples of problems on which applied research must be concentrated. The benefits that can be obtained through implementation of the circular economy, the factors that favour implementation, the challenges, the technological innovations and evolution of management models and the parameters for monitoring their effects will be the areas on which companies, researchers, local authorities and other stakeholders will be able to dialogue openly through oral and poster presentations.
