The second Global Waste Management Symposium (GWMS) is a biennial international forum for the presentation of peer-reviewed applied and fundamental research and case studies on waste management.

The GWMS brings together a broad coalition of government agencies, waste services companies, consultants, vendors/suppliers, researchers and leading trade organizations and scientific foundations from the U.S. and abroad.

This is your only opportunity to share ideas and problem solve with colleagues and GWMS sponsors on topics that are critical to the community of designers, facility owners and operators, policymakers and researchers in the global waste community.

The GWMS provides the opportunity to learn what’s new in the global waste community, and will allow you to:

• Gain expertise from industry leaders through 105 presentations and poster sessions on Methane Emissions Monitoring, Gas Management, Waste Properties, Greenhouse Gas Management, Bioreactor Case Studies, Mixed Waste Processing, Final Closure of Landfills, Waste Minimization, Landfill Cover Performance, Climate Change and Carbon Sequestration, Environmental Characteristics of Waste, Gas Treatment, Landfill Liners and Covers, Water Balance Covers, Lechate Management, Solar Energy for Landfills, Wasted-Based Energy, Biocovers, Design for Challenging Site Conditions, Waste Minimization, Recycling and Waste Diversion Policy, and Landfill Siting Issues.
