THE Landfill and Waste Treatment 2025 Conference & Exhibition will be held at the Riverside Hotel, Durban.
The theme of the conference is a play on the word “landfill” to indicate that many landfill sites are nearing capacity, or are filling up faster than planned. Hence there is a need to deliberate on the need for landfill sites in the future, and look to waste treatment technologies as alternatives or adjuncts to waste disposal by landfill.
Landfill and Waste Treatment 2025 will be held from 22 to 24 October and is a premier event for those involved with waste disposal by landfill, as well as waste treatment technologies. The event will provide delegates with the opportunity to learn about the latest techniques and developments, while providing a forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas.
The conferences typically attract 120-150 delegates with plenary sessions for the technical presentations and 10-12 stands in the exhibition area.
Delegates have a range of knowledge and expertise in various relevant fields including:
- Landfill construction and operations
- Waste transportation
- Civil and geotechnical engineering
- Geosynthetics
- Waste compaction
- Waste transportation
- Waste treatment equipment
- Alternative treatment/management technologies and operations (such as refuse derived fuels, waste to energy plants and funding models).
This conference will attract decision makers from government and the private sector, prospective users, academics, vendors and suppliers, policy makers and representatives of various national organisations working in the arena of Landfill and Alternative Waste Treatment.
The Landfill and Waste Treatment 2025 Conference and Exhibition has a number of sponsorship opportunities available to businesses and organisations to increase their brand exposure and show their support for the waste management industry.
Sponsorship packages range from the exclusive premium packages to a variety of smaller packages, and tailor-made packages can also be discussed.
The Landfill and Waste Treatment 2025 conference exhibition will cater for both outdoor and indoor space. The outdoor space is reserved for premium sponsors although any exhibitors requiring outdoor space can put in a request to the organising committee.
