The Waste-to-Energy Research and Technology Council (WTERT) brings together engineers, scientists, and managers from industry, universities, and government to advance public understanding of sustainable waste management and resource recovery from municipal, commercial, and industrial solid wastes. This is done by   

a)    identifying the best available low-carbon technologies worldwide, on the basis of good science and sound economics,

b)   sponsoring academic research and student development,

c)    disseminating the results of research carried out globally on waste management for the long-term benefit of society and the environment.
