Course description

Currently most of human activities produce waste, in this subject we will study how they are generated, treated and managed. Special attention will be given to the residues coming from construction, urban solid residues and those derived from the agri-food activity. Also the design of landfills and waste containment systems as well as treatments for organic waste such as composting or anaerobic digestion. It will delve into the aspects of waste minimization and recovery that are key to heading towards a circular economy where the generation of waste must be zero.
