Why this spring school
Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a complicated problem, as policy-makers and practitioners know all too well. In low and middle-income countries, it cannot be solved by adopting the same solutions that work in high income, highly industrialized countries.
So, how does a long-lasting solution begin? First of all, the solution must be carefully designed, avoiding the sense of emergency to dominate policy actions. The goal is to produce SWM planning documents that can guide policy actions for several years.
Participants to this Spring School will be provided with a Solid Waste Management design method and will familiarise with tools necessary to:
- build a comprehensive vision of the existing, non-effective SWM system;
- identify critical elements and waste treatment bottle-necks;
- formulate alternative solutions and compare them in terms of social and environmental impacts, cost and financial sustainability;
- approve a SWM National Strategy or a SWM City Plan that provides an implementable action path.

Reviews from the 2018 edition
Navarro Ferronato. Env. Eng. – Ph.D. student in Environmental Sciences – University of Insubria, Varese (Italy)
The Spring School allowed me to improve my knowledge in solid waste management planning. The most interesting subject explored during the week was the implementation of the Life Cycle Assessment in parallel with the waste flow analysis for assessing the environmental impacts due to the collection, transportation, treatment and final disposal of solid waste. Moreover, the share of knowledge among the participants by discussions and presentations was also very interesting due to their multidisciplinary (experts from NGOs, Universities, private companies, Governments…) and international background (Argentina, Italy, France, Serbia, Japan, Ghana, South Africa, Thailand, Oman, Lebanon…). I really recommend this course.
Roland Thomson. Madrid, Spain
The Spring School in Bologna was a great opportunity to form a like-minded group, and learn together, through new ideas and past experiences. Thanks to the organisers and fellow learners for a great event.
