Session 17: Circulatory EconomyA circular economy is a transformative economic model designed to minimize waste, conserve resources, and promote sustainability. In a circular economy, products and materials are reused, repaired, remanufactured, and recycled to the greatest extent possible. This contrasts with the traditional linear economy, where products are made, used, and then disposed of as waste.
Session 18: Thermal Waste RecoveryThermal waste recovery is an environmentally responsible approach to waste management that harnesses the energy potential of waste materials. This process involves subjecting waste to high temperatures through methods like incineration or pyrolysis. As the waste is heated, it transforms into valuable energy sources, such as heat, electricity, biofuels, and syngas. Thermal waste recovery reduces waste volume, minimizes landfill reliance, and provides sustainable energy solutions.
Session 19: Recycling Business and MarketingRecycling businesses play a crucial role in transforming waste materials into reusable resources, helping to conserve natural resources and reduce environmental impact.
