The 20th anniversary edition of the Waste Forum symposium will take place April 21\u201323, 2026, in Hustope\u010de at the Amande Hotel. The main theme will be research and development outcomes for industrial and municipal ecology.<\/p>\n
The program will also include a thematic block titled \u201cThe Second Life of Wood,\u201d which will focus on the possibilities for material and chemical utilization of wood waste, furniture recycling, the use of wood from demolition sites, and issues related to contaminated wood.<\/p>\n
There will also be a technical lecture dedicated to the use of recycled wood-based materials in new products.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, April 22, Marek Pol\u00e1\u0161ek from the Wood Research Institute will give a lecture on the topic \u201cGetting Started with a Product Made from Recycled Wood.\u201d
\nHe will explain the options for demonstrating performance parameters and health safety for newly developed products that use wood-based recycled materials.<\/p>\n
The Wood Research Institute can assist a wide range of wood product manufacturers, including helping them meet the strict requirements for products made from wood chips or wood recyclates. For example, suppliers to IKEA must meet the demanding requirements set forth in IKEA\u2019s technical specification \u201cIOS-MAT-0010 Chemical Requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n
The symposium traditionally focuses on presenting the latest research and development results in the field of industrial and municipal ecology. This year, the emphasis will be not only on waste, water, and air protection, but also on the application of circular economy and sustainability principles in key sectors such as the food, automotive, and wood processing industries, as well as the management of hazardous and radioactive waste.<\/p>\n
The event is intended for research experts, representatives of companies and public administration. It offers a space for sharing knowledge, establishing cooperation and finding practical solutions for implementing innovations in practice.<\/p>\n
Come and be inspired by the latest trends and research results in the field of sustainable waste and resource management.<\/p>\n
The event is organized by T\u0159etruka.cz, the author of which is CEMC – Czech Ecological Management Center.<\/p>\n
