Waste 2008 follows the tradition established by Waste 2000 and subsequent events as a biennial conference which presents applied research, debates the latest strategic planning & regulatory guidance, and provides an opportunity to demonstrate practical, sustainable and cost-effective solutions to waste and resource management.

Waste 2008 has a predominantly UK focus. However, the technical themes discussed are common to all industrialised countries and the conference has historically attracted a significant number of international delegates and presenters. The organisers extend a warm welcome to all.

The conference is organised on a not-for-profit basis in order to make the conference as affordable as possible, to Local Authorities, Waste Management practitioners, consultants, regulators and students.

Waste 2008 provides a forum for disseminating recent developments, for debating current and future needs, and provides an excellent opportunity to network.
