About the course:
This course is a perfect complement to the Symposium on Extraction & Processing for the Treatment & Minimization of Wastes. Increasing competition from alternative materials and awareness of environmental sensitivities demand mining industries to seek opportunities from wastes and recyclables with economic value and manage them using the best economically feasible and environmentally available technologies. The course is intended to provide basic understanding and overview of the various aspects of waste minimization including recycling technologies that are either currently applied or hold potential for application.
Case studies from automotive and recycling industries on waste minimization will be included. A panel discussion between the presenters and attendees on all issues of concern will conclude this learning intensive course.
Who should attend:
The course will be of particular interest to environmental managers, plant operators, researchers and consultants.
