IWWG - International Waste Working Group is a non-profit association that aims to provide a forum to encourage economic and ecological waste management world-wide and to promote scientific advancement in the field

The official IWWG journals are Waste Management, published by Elsevier and edited by Umberto Arena, Pinjing He and Dimitris Komilis, as well as Detritus, published by CISA and edited by Raffaello Cossu.
Waste Management is devoted to the presentation and discussion of information on solid waste generation, characterization, minimization, collection, separation, treatment and disposal, as well as manuscripts that address waste management policy, education, and economic and environmental assessments. The current impact factor (September 2023) is 8.1.
Detritus / Multidisciplinary journal for circular economy and sustainable management of residues is aimed at extending the “waste” concept by opening up the field to other waste-related disciplines (e.g. earth science, applied microbiology, environmental science, architecture, art, law, etc.) welcoming strategic, review and opinion papers. The current impact factor (September 2023) is 1.7.

Moreover, thousands of scientific papers presented during the past IWWG events are available for download for IWWG members (login to the members area required). Selected publications and additional articles have been consolidated in a couple of Reference books (IWWG monographs) focusing on aspects of particular interest in the field of waste management and technology.
Finally, the IWWG is preparing Position Papers on contemporary issues of high political and/or scientific interest.
