7th APLAS 2012 (Asian Pacific Landfill Symposium 2012) , 8-11 October 2012, Indonesia

7th APLAS 2012 (Asian Pacific Landfill Symposium 2012) 

8th   to  11th October 2012 
Sanur Bali, Bali, Indonesia 

Solid waste has become one of the most enormous environmental issues in the current modern cities. Improper solid waste handling also vividly contributes to the climate change and its deleterious impacts to the environment. A new paradigm, such as waste generation avoidance (reuse, reduce, and recycle/3Rs), has emerged at the top hierarchy and become the state-of-the-art in the solid waste system, specifically landfill system. The efforts to extract the energy and usable products from the waste in the landfill, have also surfaced the need to retrofit the landfill procedures.

Asian Pacific Landfill Symposium (APLAS) provides a biennial avenue to the academia, researchers, engineers, governments, non-governmental organizations, private sectors, industries, consultants, contractors, and manufacturers, to meet and perform ideas-exchanging. The previous APLAS meetings that have been held in Fukuoka, Japan (2000), Seoul, South Korea (2002), Kitakyushu, Japan (2004), Shanghai, People Republic of China (2006), Sapporo, Japan (2008), and Seoul, South Korea (2010), have provided various sharing of knowledge and network about landfill and solid waste-related system. The upcoming APLAS in Bali, Indonesia (2012) would be the next rendezvous for landfill and solid waste system experts to brainstorm new breakthrough for solving the current challenges in this area of knowledge. Bali as one of the paradise islands on earth in the Shangri-La archipelago, Indonesia, is a memorable cozy place to further sharp the participants' horizon about the future portrait of landfill and solid waste system.

Objectives

1. To provide a platform for exchange of ideas and information among academia, engineers, researchers, governments, non-governmental organizations, private sectors, industries, consultants, contractors, manufacturers in solid and hazardous waste management to meet and perform ideas-exchanging.
2. To brainstrom and evaluate the current and future regional solid waste management system strategies and including landfill & recycling technologies.
