Objectives

	To promote the exchange of technical, scientific and professional knowledge on waste engineering and management to better serve the interests and welfare of the community, engineering profession and general public in Hong Kong, Canada and around the world.
	To facilitate the delivery of knowledge concerning the reduction of wastes, the recycling and reuse of what generally is considered as waste materials, and the reduction of air, land, and water pollution.

Theme
