SUSTAINABLE LANDFILLING

Dear Colleague,

In many countries waste management is experiencing a fast transition from landfilling to sophisticated recycling and waste to energy plants. Thus, the question arises: Is there still a need for landfilling in the future, and if yes, how should landfills be designed and operated in order to become sustainable?

In order to discuss current research related to the question above, Helsinki University of Technology - Lahti Center and Vienna University of Technology are jointly organizing an international conference in Vienna on September 23-25, 2010 on sustainable landfilling.

Please see the details in the First announcement and Call for Abstracts (http://www.iwa.tuwien.ac.at/landfill-conference/announcement.pdf). The deadline for abstract submission is November 30, 2009.

We would enjoy welcoming you in Vienna and are looking forward to receive your abstracts.

Best regards
Johann Fellner
