2014 WtERT Conference
October 9-10, 2014, Columbia University, New York, NY
On October 9-10, the Waste-to-Energy Research and Technology Council hosted its 2014 Bi-Annual Meeting at Columbia University in the City of New York. There were 27 presentations and 8 posters in the meeting. In 2014, the Waste-to-Energy Research and Technology Council awarded the Republic of Korea for planning, policy and implementation of outstanding advances to recycling, composting and waste to energy during the period of 1990-2014. The Republic of Korea achieved a higher standing on the ladder of sustainable waste management than the United States, at a GDP per capita that is significantly lower. A distinguished contribution award was being given to the former COO and CTO of Covanta Energy Corp., Mr. John Klett.
