We are pleased to invite you to the 6th Symposium of the International Waste Working Group Asian Regional Branch (IWWG-ARB2025), which will be held on 10-12 March 2025 in Novotel Manila Araneta City, Quezon City, Philippines. This event is organized by the College of Engineering of the University of the Philippines Diliman.
The Symposium is a biannual event which is one of the activities facilitated by the Asian Regional Branch (ARB) of IWWG. Having regional branches is a new strategy of IWWG to better organize the IWWG activities, build network and participation, and better consider local needs in a significantly large area (Asia, Africa, South and North America, etc.).
Starting from Japan, China and South Korea, ARB activities are extended to other Asian countries. For 2025, the Philippines is honored to host the 6th IWWG-ARB Symposium. 
With the theme “Highlighting the Role of Waste Management in Building Sustainable and Resilient Communities”, the conference aims to provide a forum for discussing waste management trends, challenges, and solutions in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 and SDG 12. This event also serves as a platform to promote scientific advancement in the field.
