Achieving Excellence through Sustainable Energy and Waste Management

About the Course

Achieving Excellence through Sustainable Energy and Waste Management training course provides the necessary concepts, knowledge, and good practices for integrating energy conservation and waste management methodologies. It follows the framework and instructions of sound international energy and waste management programs. This will support the delegates involved in planning, operating, controlling and auditing processes involving energy and material consumption to improve the conditions for achieving sustainable development within the context of energy and material management.

This training course helps to understand the necessary concepts, techniques and procedures needed to achieve a robust management system that integrates consumed energy and waste generated and how a reduction in the waste generated by different processes and operations could positively affect consumed energy and enhance the business conditions.

The cutting-edge approaches to collecting, transporting, treating, or recycling different waste materials. The delegates will learn how to manage waste more sustainably and cost-effectively to protect the environment and society and boost profit. With this, they will gain knowledge in exploring opportunities in waste prevention, reuse, and recycling, from one side to improving energy management.

Core Objectives

The delegates will achieve the following objectives:

• Gain Knowledge in sustainable energy & waste management systems
• Understand different types of wastes, their handling, storage and recycling
• Identify the consequences of mismanagement of waste on the environment
• Understand the planning process for energy management
• Understand the scientific concepts of energy and climate change
• Understand how proper energy and waste management improve the carbon footprint

Training Approach

Different learning techniques will be used during the training course, starting from PowerPoint presentations, interactive practical exercises, workshops, focused group discussions, related videos, and business case studies.

The Attendees

Achieving Excellence through Sustainable Energy and Waste Management training course is necessary for everyone engaged in significant energy consumption and/or waste generation and management.
