WASTEvision 2020: "Urban Mining - Resources from Waste".
Switzerland’s waste management system is of a high standard and serves as a model for others. Nevertheless, waste still ends up in the environment here as well—for example, through littering, the illegal disposal of bulky waste, or being carried by wind and water.
The aim of WASTEvision 2020 is to address topics related to the well-functioning Swiss waste management system, while also taking psychological aspects into account. The presentations form the basis for a discussion among the participants as well as with the speakers. Individual program focal points:
- Psychology of Littering (Ralph Hansmann, Environmental Psychologist, ETH Zurich)
- The morning after... (Dominik Egli, Head of Stadtreinigung Basel Stadt)
- Effective measures against littering (Nora Steimer, Executive Director IG saubere Umwelt)
- Illegal bulky waste in the environment (Richard Nyffeler, Waste Controller City of St. Gallen)
- Plastic flows in Swiss agriculture (Thomas Bucheli, Head of Research Group Environmental Analysis, Agroscope)
- Green plastic is not green waste! (Andreas Utiger, Managing Director Biomasse Suisse)
- Contents among others
