Online Certificate Course: Waste Characterisation and Quantification

CENTRE FOR Science and Environment (CSE) has fostered the Global Forum of Cities for Circular Economy (GFCCE), a community of 15 African and four Asian countries, to promote sustainable solid waste management practices. GFCCE has identified waste characterisation and quantification as the first of its 14 “common agendas for action”, focusing on waste composition to facilitate scientific assessment and data-driven approach to resource planning.

Rapid urbanisation and population explosion in cities have put a severe strain on sanitation and waste management services. CSE believes that understanding waste characteristics is at the epicenter of sustainable planning and informed decision-making. This three-day online training, curated exclusively for GFCCE member states and other Global South nations, aims to demystify waste characterisation and quantification and equip participants with the essential learnings to enable them to comprehend the diverse challenges and opportunities inherent in waste management practices.
