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
I was not aware of IWWG clearly. As I attend in the IWWG events more and more, I fully satisfied with the contents of IWWG events and meetings with people. Finally, in 2004 I applied for IWWG membership and I became the 1st member in the Korean Peninsula. IWWG not only helps me academically, but I am also able to share experience of people and practices in countries. Furthermore, I got warm friends over the world.
