09:15-10:45 Session S1.I: Strategies and perceptions on waste management - I Part - Chairman: S. Consonni

Waste management lies at a crucial interconnection between Science, Technology, Sociology and Economy. Not only does waste require Science and Technology for proper management, but also strategies and behaviours that can adequately handle its impact, promote its use as a resource and give evidence to values and costs. This session focuses on the latest developments in the interdisciplinary, unconventional area aimed at accomplishing a positive vision of waste. For which the capability of communicating what are the real issues at stake has become an overwhelming requirement.

16:15-17:45 Session S2: Closing the loop: potentiality and critical issues - Chairman: L. Rigamonti

This session will focus on the potentiality of circular economy in reducing the environmental impacts associated  with waste management and in increasing the efficient use of resources, through reuse and recycling. At the same time, the critical issues of this approach will be analysed, such as the quality of recycled materials and their actual use in the market, the data availability for the calculation of reuse and recycling targets, and the implementation of effective prevention strategies.
