Session title: Waste management in humanitarian context
26 Apr 23 11:00-12:30   (Salle Nyon)
 
SessionAbstract

Awareness and interest in environmental sustainability within humanitarian supply chains is increasing. Due to the nature of humanitarian aid, operations produce a lot of waste, which can cause strain on local infrastructure. In this session the discussion will be based on a qualitative study done as part of the WREC project. The study focussed on waste management and reverse logistics in humanitarian operations and was executed through a literature review and empirical interviews with practitioners from a diverse range of organisations. Results from the interview study will be presented and a discussion will follow.
