Tuesday 10th June Opening Session
1000 - 1215hrs Welcome by The Chairman of Torbay Council Investiture of the President of the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management, Mr Hugh Hoather, followed by the Presidential Address. Keynote Speeches:
Barbara Young, Chief Executive, Environment Agency
Daniel Instone, Head of Waste Strategy, Defra
Mark Shayler, Managing Director, eco3 The conference opening session not only sets the scene but also the pace for the whole programme. This year will set off at a brisk pace with opinion and comment from major industry players both from within the waste sector and users of its services. The combination of the worldwide demand for resources and the drive for greater efficiencies in resource and energy use has once again placed the waste sector in the spotlight. We can provide part of the sustainability solution, increase public awareness and participation and that will come as a result of political, practical and operational cooperation.

Carbon Footprint and Waste Treatment Strategy
1000 - 1300hrs It is a well-known fact that non-renewable fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas will not last forever. Moreover, we need to address the needs of global warming. Energy from waste can make an important contribution to securing sustainable and diverse energy supplies and is an essential element of a cost-effective climate change programme. There is an international need to limit the emission of greenhouse gases by exploiting the energy contained in waste by extending state-of-the-art technologies. This session will look at various waste strategies and the associated carbon footprints.
