The dates have been set, and the contents of the 2017 edition of the Assises des Déchets are already being fine-tuned. The steering committee’s members and the partners of the event have been elaborating an attractive programme directly connected to recent developments of the industry and to its long-term challenges.

Day 1, September 27^th: Technical workshops and inputs

Exchanges between players and stakeholders, sharing of experiences, stock taking of issues, propositions of actions… The Assises have been pursuing the collective ambition to increase performances and recycling, to end wastage, to value territorial initiatives and to take the feedback associated with various European projects into account.

Topics will include: waste sorting facilities, extended producer responsibility, technological creativity, waste plans, plastics recycling, biowaste and food waste, building waste, energy and waste, the need to end bad practices…

Day 2, September 28^th: Debate and perspectives

After the feedback from technical workshops, two big debate sessions will be held. One will be dedicated to new regulatory developments and to the economic situation of the waste sector, with a focus on the European vision. With the second session, and the participation of keynote speakers, the congress will be closed on a major environmental issue: Preserve the sea from our garbage!
