TAKING PLACE IN NEW DATE
due to Covid-19 pandemic
11th INTERNATIONAL EXPERTS' CONFERENCE
ENVIROMANAGEMENT 2021
WASTE INFRASTRUCTURE
DEALING WITH THE COVID-19 EXPERIENCE
MAY 6 – 7, 2021
HOTEL PATRIA****, ŠTRBSKÉ PLESO, HIGH TATRAS, SLOVAKIA
Due to the ever-changing situation of the Covid pandemic and traveling restrictions between European countries, the Program Committee has decided to postpone
the 11th international experts’ conference
Enviromanagement 2020
to the date of May 6 – 7, 2021.
We believe one of the key benefits of holding the conference in a location where participants can meet and network with many other industry colleagues is key the success of past conferences. Sadly, this would not be the case if the conference was to go as originally planned.
The main topics of the conference will remain largely unchanged and up-to-date information on lecturers and presentations can be found on the Enviromanagement 2021 conference website.
Yours sincerely
Gabriela Stuchlá
Conference Manager
“WASTE & RESOURCES MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
- THE CHALLENGE OF MEETING CURRENT AND FUTURE DEMANDS”
WASTE INFRASTRUCTURE
TAILORED DEVELOPMENT, ON-TIME DELIVERY
AND SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS
DEALING WITH THE COVID-19 EXPERIENCE
A NEW CHALLENGE FOR THE WASTE & RESOURCES INDUSTRY
MAIN TOPICS
WASTE INFRASTRUCTURE
INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
Infrastructure development for waste & resource management:
- Current economic and environmental needs.
- National strategies and goals and European environmental policy.
- Relevant legal framework for the area of waste and resource infrastructure projects.
- Funding of infrastructure – economic and financial considerations.
- Financial performance of waste treatment projects.
- Reduction of pollution and environmental burdens.
- Newly available and potential methods of treatment and disposal.
DELIVERY OF INFRASTRUCTURE
Conditions, possibilities and external factors:
- Current processing capacity and ensuring future requirements are met.
- New built facilities and emerging technologies.
- Infrastructure for the transport and delivery of waste and resources.
- Recent operational experiences.
- State-of-the-art waste treatment technologies: Features, opportunities, limitations.
OPERATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE
Operation of facilities and the role of technology:
- Current capacity, limits and limitations vs. required and planned outputs.
- Expected and planned technological changes and innovations.
- Public Relations – negative attitudes of the public and how to overcome them
- Case studies from recent projects
COVID-19 EXPERIENCE
The year 2020 will forever be remembered for the COVID-19 pandemic.
The pandemic COVID-19 exposed just how vulnerable a modern global society is and at the same time provided a stark warning that:
- in times of national crisis, response plans must not overlook the ongoing importance of managing waste; and
- that the waste and resource industry must have its own crisis management plans together with resilient infrastructure able to operate throughout a crisis.
We now see that each country chose a different approach to managing its waste during the pandemic. We would therefore like to use this opportunity to compare the effectiveness of different responses and strategies within the sector. This is a unique chance reflect, and also prepare the waste and resource industry for future crises management.
DEALING WITH THE COVID-19 EXPERIENCE
A New Challenge for the Waste & Resources Industry:
- Importance of the waste and resource sector in crisis management.
- Continuity of essential services and workforce management.
- Implementing crisis operations and returning to normal services.
- Impact of preemptive and quarantine measures on operations.
- Maintaining up to date crisis management plans.
- Financial considerations during a crisis situation.
- International responses to the pandemic and the effectiveness of adopted measures.
