Overview
Rapid urbanization and industrial growth have intensified waste generation, placing enormous pressure on landfills and ecosystems. The urgent need for waste diversion and separation at source has become a cornerstone of sustainable waste management.
This two-day intensive workshop equips participants with practical strategies, regulatory insights, and innovative tools to design and implement waste diversion systems that reduce landfill dependence, cut operational costs, and promote a circular economy.
Participants will explore real-world case studies, learn to apply the waste hierarchy, and understand how to integrate waste-to-energy and recycling initiatives in compliance with the National Environmental Management: Waste Act (NEMWA) and the latest national waste management strategy.

Interpret and comply with recent legislative amendments in waste management.
Design systems for waste-to-energy conversion and landfill diversion.
