Course Description
Global consumption patterns with increasing complexity and volume of generated waste, urge for the need to continuously optimize waste management. The driving force behind this mobilization is primarily attributed to the ever-increasing climate change concerns and also the plethora of pollution incidents and their subsequent environmental effects. This, in turn, requires the coordination of activities of the different stakeholders including manufacturers, regulatory authorities, consumers and waste disposal companies.
