SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION
The Waste No More Conferences aim to encourage international communication, collaboration, and networking to advance knowledge and promote values, attitudes, commitment, and skills needed to address emerging issues on waste management and protection of the environment. These conferences also aim to strengthen the link between collaborative projects and applied research to support and address industry needs.
​
The annual Waste No More Conference is the only conference in the Philippines that provides a platform for Researchers, Scientists, Practitioners, and Professionals from the academe, government, industry, international organizations, NGOs, and civil society to disseminate research results, new ideas, and practical experience in waste management, as well as, facilitate an open and constructive dialogue between multi-sector stakeholders towards resolving waste problems.
​
Our waste problem is not the government's problem alone. We are all polluters, therefore, we are all responsible. We MUST be responsible. With this year's theme: Be part of the solution!, let's come together and actively participate in finding solutions, encourage others to share ideas and experiences, and reiterate that we are all trustees of the planet and take responsibility for the continuation of life.

How to write an abstract?
x
An abstract is a short summary of a longer work (such as a dissertation, research paper, project, case study, etc.). The abstract concisely reports the aims and outcomes of your research so that readers know exactly what the paper or presentation is about. There are four things you need to include: (1) research problem and objectives, (2) methods, (3) key results, and (4) conclusion.
​
An abstract is usually around 150–300 words.
