Workshop: Waste characterization practices in affluent & Developing Countries I
Chair / Presidente: Johann Fellner (AT)
Waste characterization studies (e.g. sorting analysis of waste) in affluent countries are more or less a standardized procedure giving reproducible and representative results. In many emerging and developing countries however, the procedure of waste characterization studies including their planning (sampling) is hardly documented and very often does not following good guidance. Hence, the aim of the workshop is to discuss the current practice of waste characterization studies in different African countries (e.g. Egypt, Zambia, Uganda) and to compare their procedure with the prevailing practice applied in Europe. The first part of the workshop will include the following introductory lectures:
J. Fellner (AT)
Introduction into the workshop
P. Beigl (AT)
Austrian guideline for analysing the composition of mixed Municipal Solid Waste
D. Blasenbauer (AT)
Waste sampling for characterizing sorting processes
