Conference Objectives
The PSHWM | CEWM Conferences aim to encourage international communication, collaboration, and networking to advance knowledge and promote values, attitudes, commitment, and skills needed to address emerging issues on waste management and protection of the environment. These conferences also aim to strengthen the link between collaborative projects and applied research to support and address industry needs.
​
Specifically, PSHWM | CE-WM aim to bring Researchers, Scientists, Academe, Government, Professionals from industry, NGOs, and civil society to disseminate research results, new ideas, and practical experience in waste management, as well as, facilitate an open and constructive dialogue between multi-sector stakeholders towards resolving waste problems.
​
With the theme, WASTE NO MORE: Embracing the circular economy-based waste management towards a sustainable future, PSHWM | CE-WM 2021 will give special attention to insights into circular economy, case studies regarding the shift from linear to circular economy, waste management in a circular economy, cleaner technologies and business practices, bio-waste, bio-energy, waste-to-energy, and successful zero waste initiatives.
