The objective of the IWWG is to provide an educational forum to encourage and support economic and ecological (sustainable and integrated) waste management world-wide and to promote scientific advancement in the field.

This purpose will be accomplished by learning from the past, analysing the present, and thereby developing new ideas, scenarios and visions for the future. The vast amount of experience gained on a world-wide basis in the field so far, which is rather dispersive, and consequently not focused enough to influence legislation, education, or provide practical applications and move towards a more rational development of appropriate technologies, will be placed at your disposal.
