Last week at the ISWA General Assembly in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, ISWA???s National Members voted in a new Scientific and Technical Committee (STC) Chair to serve a four-year term on the ISWA Board. Long-standing ISWA Member, Björn Appelqvist was selected by the ISWA National Members to serve this position. Björn currently serves as Chair of the Working Group on Recycling and Waste Minimisation and has been Head of Department for Waste and Resource Management for ISWA Gold Member Ramboll since 2016, prior to which he spent 16 years in the industry in various positions for contractors, as well as public authorities. The ISWA Board look forward to working with Björn over the coming years as they look to refresh and implement a new scientific strategy, with greater emphasis on circular economy.
