ISWA YPG Online Course | Waste Generation & Characterisation Studies

This online training is organised by International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) Young Professionals’ Group. It will be a 2-day training (9 hours total) with 4,5 hours of session per day.

The aim is to emphasise the importance of waste generation and characterisation by exposing young professionals and aspiring students to the available methodologies to successfully conduct waste audits, enabling the design of projects based on those results.

It is expected that participants will be able to gather information on properly collecting representative waste samples at the household level, followed by adequate characterisation and city-wide extrapolation of results, including considerations of non-household waste generation.
