The International Waste Working Group, founded in 2002 and registered as a no-profit organisation, serves as a forum for the scientific and professional community. The IWWG aims to provide an intellectual platform to encourage and support integrated and sustainable waste management and to promote practical scientific development in the field. The group was conceived to provide a “home” for professionals and researchers, and give a voice to be able to beneficially influence waste management and research. WEBSITE
