Training on Industrial Pollution and Disposal Management

About the Program

Due to economic development and increased urbanization, the levels of industrial solid waste have experienced significant growth in recent years. This pattern calls for strategic and sustainable changes within the societies that aim the conservation of natural resources and the establishment of industrial ecology. Recycling and Disposal Management of Waste has become crucial for contemporary world, as traditional methods turn out to be ineffective for managing clinical, agricultural, industrial and municipal waste, depleting natural resources across the globe.

This program is designed to equip participants with a thorough and quality understanding of the types and characteristics of industrial waste as well as strategic approach and steps for waste minimization, remediation and treatment. Significant emphasize is made on waste prevention tools and techniques supporting the precaution principle. The program aims to form an adequate and sophisticated applied knowledge base for preventing and handling industrial emergencies.
