Who are we?
Waste Management Research Group (WMRG) is a group of dedicated and enthusiastic researchers working under the supervision of Prof. Ajay S. Kalamdhad and Dr. Meena Khwairakhpam at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Assam.
Waste Management Research Group (WMRG)
We, at WMRG, work on varied research areas including but not limited to, biological treatment of organic wastes, organic pollutants, and heavy metals in both liquid and solid wastes. We also deal with modeling, monitoring, and assessment of surface and groundwater quality. Our vision for a long time has been transforming “Waste into Wealth” thereby contributing our bit to the environment. RECYCLE started as a symposium in 2012, an initiative of WMRG, and gradually rose to the level of an international conference in the subsequent years. RECYCLE 2025 is the 5th edition of the International Conference, after four successful ones in 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2023. The major areas of focus for RECYCLE 2025 include:
- Waste Management and Policies
- Biological, Thermal, and Advanced treatment processes
- 4R concepts of waste management
- Wastewater treatment and reuse
- Landfilling and any other issues related to solid and liquid waste management
