A comprehensive and multidisciplinary training course that will allow you to excel in your career, following the latest advances in waste management”

The generation of waste resulting from human activities is still awaiting a solution so as not to compromise the capacity of future generations. This is why there is a European waste policy. Inadequate waste management produces significant impacts on the recipient environments, generating adverse effects on water, soil and air, contributing to climate change, affecting ecosystems and human health. 

It is also necessary to bear in mind that, since its inception, industrial activity has been linked to the production of waste. This has become one of the major environmental problems of our society. So much so, that in recent years the appearance and development of technologies has caused the volume of industrial waste production to increase by 1200%. This is causing problems at both economic and environmental levels, leading to irreversible natural catastrophes for our planet.

In the same way, wastewater treatment is key in the field of water engineering, because once water is used, it is necessary to treat it in order to reduce the environmental impact derived from its use. The purpose of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is to remove pollutants from wastewater in order to return the water to its source without the presence of pollutants. These waters can be domestic or industrial. Contaminants include oils, greases, sands, settleable solids, ammonia and phosphorus compounds.

With the increase and development of legislation derived from environmental directives, there has been a growing social sensitivity, as well as civil and criminal liability of companies for damage caused to the environment. The problems of air and sea pollution and the large amount of waste of all kinds have forced companies and administrations, along with the environmental authorities, to develop and incorporate effective tools and measures for environmental management.
