MatER Meeting 2021
5th MatER Meeting & 6th International Conference on Final Sinks
“Recovery and final sinks for an effective waste management”
On June 7th – 9th the 5th MatER Meeting took place completely on-line over “Recovery & Final Sinks for an Effective Waste Management”.
The event has been organized with the scientific support of DICA (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering) and Energy Department of the Politecnico di Milano.
For the first time, the biannual MatER Meeting was merged with the International Conference on Final Sinks. Due to the common interest in the field of the circular economy, in the reusing, recovering, and recycling of waste materials and many other themes, the 5th MatER Meeting took place together with the 6th International Conference on Final Sinks.
The conjunction of the two events arises from the link between the fundamental goal of MatER and Final Sinks conferences. The first one aims at providing a thorough, objective representation of technologies and policies for material and energy recovery from waste, thereby contributing to moving toward sustainable waste management. The second addresses the most important topics regarding the handling of material flows and stocks from the resource and waste management perspective.
The detailed program can still be consulted at this LINK.
Some works have been illustrated in the 4 oral sessions and the rest have been presented during the flash poster presentations, distributed among the 2 days.
