Wastes 2019 will be a joint organization of CVR - Centre for Waste Valorisation and FCT-UNL - Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa and will take place at the Campus of FCT-UNL, Caparica - Lisbon, from 4 to 6 September 2019.

Once again, we expect to bring together academia and industry experts from the Waste Management and Recycling sectors from around the world, offering state of the art knowledge and sharing experiences with all who attend. Discussions regarding the balance between economic, environmental and social outcomes, focused specially on the necessary transition from a linear to a circular economy, its opportunities, challenges and constraints, will be carefully addressed. The development of innovative techniques, tools and strategies to improve corporate environmental performance, the understanding of how industry activities impact on the environment and the options analysis for its improvement are also key objectives for this event.

Authors are invited to submit their contribution as full or short papers. 

Just as in 2015 and 2017 editions, all full papers accepted will be included in a book published by CRC Press – Taylor & Francis Group, that will be proposed to Scopus and Web of Science for indexing. Note that the articles included in the Wastes 2015 book are presently available in Scopus, while those from the 2017 edition are indexed in Web of Science (ISI).

Also following Wastes previous editions, all short papers will be included in the Book of Proceedings of the Conference (with ISSN).

We are looking forward to welcoming you in September 2019, in Caparica – Lisbon.
