IWWG Working Group on
SUSTAINABLE LANDFILLING
Chair: Heijo Scharff
Aims and Objectives
The Sustainable Landfilling IWWG task group has been founded in order to co-ordinate interdisciplinary research on sustainable landfilling, discuss and disseminate related results, and to provide scientific support for modern regulations
The Group aims to carry out the following.
To collate research results on the following topics:
- a working definition of sustainable landfill;
- the criteria for landfill completion;
- the operational controls/measures to achieve a sustainable landfill, including: the waste acceptance criteria necessary; and the accelerated physical, chemical and biological stabilisation techniques required and the optimum time for their application.
To work with other groups to achieve the above.
To disseminate its findings:
- in the Journal, Waste Management;
- in monographs or other special publications;
- at IWWG meetings and those of organisations collaborating with the group.
Members
The task group “Sustainable Landfilling” was founded following the decision of the Scientific Advisory Committee of IWWG at the Toya meeting (ICLRS, 2004). The task group members include academic and industrial researchers and scientists from different countries (Table 1).
