The fifth edition of EurAsia Waste Management Symposium, will take place from 26 to 28 October 2020 at YTU Davutpaşa Congress & Cultural Center, Istanbul, Turkey.

EurAsia Waste Management Symposium will provide a comprehensive overview of effective waste management strategies across the Asian and the European regions. Also, the symposium will provide the opportunity to discuss and evaluate the current and future regional waste management strategies and recycling projects face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration. All parties of waste management such as universities, industrial organizations, public institutions and organizations, local governments and legislators are welcome to attend to the symposium in order to share their experiences and to bring a common body of knowledge for the solution of the waste management problems in the region.

All the submitted papers will be peer reviewed by the distinguished members of the Scientific Committee of the Conference. All accepted papers of the conference will be processed for publication in the Environmental Research and Technology, a newly launched open access journal published by Yildiz Technical University.

The symposium will be organized by Yildiz Technical University (YTU), ISTAC Inc., and International Waste Working Group (IWWG) and supported by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. The topics of the symposium will include almost all areas of waste management including legislation, collection, transport, treatment, recycle and reuse options for municipal, hazardous, medical, and other waste types. The Symposium will include oral presentations, poster sessions, and specialized workshops.

We hope EurAsia Waste Management Symposium will be the largest event for colleagues to promote exchanges to contribute to development of solid waste management in Asia and Europe.
