Celebrating Global Knowledge Sharing and Unity at the Closing Ceremony of the International Training Workshop on Waste-to-Energy
On November 8, we gathered to celebrate the closing of the International Training Workshop on Waste-to-Energy – an event hosted by Zhejiang University (ZJU) and co-organized by Zhejiang University of Technology (ZJUT) and the International Consultant Committee on Waste-to-Energy (ICCWtE), with support from WtERT, brought together 20 participants from 15 countries.

The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is right, we need to prioritise resource recovery in WtE
ESWET welcomes the recent opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) “From waste plants to resource plants” about transforming waste management to prioritise resource recovery and circularity.
AVA Abfallverwertung Augsburg GmbH
Material AND Energy Recovery at its best, the Example of AVA Augsburg, Germany
The waste management companies of the city of Augsburg, the district of Augsburg and the district of Aichach-Friedberg, Germany, are active around the clock for the approx. 1.2 million inhabitants in their disposal area. With the initial operation of a biowaste fermentation plant in 2013 and 2016, AVA has become one of Germany's largest players also in the field of material recycling. The reciprocal supplementation and interaction of the plant components result in extremely positive synergies.

Waste-to-Energy: what the BBC missed (and should have not)
A recent BBC analysis is heavily critical of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) practices in the UK, raising well-known questions. ESWET is convinced that by omitting critical data and overlooking the challenges of waste management and WtE’s clear benefits, the BBC fails to present a comprehensive, nuanced and realistic view of the sector.

Synergies for the Climate by combining AD plants with WtE Dipl.-Ing. (TU) Werner P. Bauer
From the public's point of view, acceptance of a new waste-to-energy plant depends on whether material recycling is promoted at the same time and how regional emissions change as a result of the project.
