CEWEP - Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants

CEWEP, Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants, is the umbrella association of the operators of Waste-to-Energy (incineration with energy recovery) plants, representing about 410 plants from 24 countries. They make up more than 80% of the Waste-to-Energy capacity in Europe. CEWEP members are committed to ensuring high environmental standards, achieving low emissions and maintaining state of the art energy production from remaining waste that cannot be recycled in a sustainable way. CEWEP organises plant visits, congresses, workshops and debates, often in the European Parliament, in order to inform decision makers and the public about Waste-to-Energy. It provides the public with information on emission levels, energy efficiency, on the technology of Waste-to-Energy incineration and the plants’ contribution to climate protection in order to raise citizens’ awareness of the role Waste-to-Energy plays in sustainable resource management.

AIAT - Italian Association of Environmental and Planning Engineers

AIAT - Association of Environmental and Planning Engineers, is a no-profit organisation established in 1999 to represent graduated and students in Environmental Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano. Then, in 2009, the representation has been extended at a national level. AIAT's main objective is the promotion of the role of the environmental engineer, a professional capable of tackling complex environmental issues with an integrated approach. Since 2003, AIAT is a member of EFAEP, and collaborated with it at the development of ENEP - European Network of Environmental Professionals, a web-portal collecting thousands of profiles of European environmental professionals. A second objective of AIAT, equally important, is to foster the exchange of information among the members, about 600 and active in many fields of expertise: pollution remediation and soil protection, energy management, climate changes, waste management, environmental monitoring, Environmental Management Systems, transports planning and many more.
