From 13 – 14 March 2025, the 14th Scientific Congress of the German Society for Waste Management (DGAW) took place at the University of Kassel. The event offers a platform for young scientists to present their own topics in the field of waste and recycling management.

Our INZIN Institute was represented by two of our doctoral students. Both presented key aspects of their doctoral projects and made a valuable contribution to the 14th Science Congress in Kassel:

• Pauline Jegen with a poster presentation on “Analysing the impact of implementing R-strategies on material flows in the construction sector in the Ruhgebiet”.
• Konstantin Saure with a lecture on “Urban redistribution logistics for reusable packaging for pre-packaged food”

In addition to the specialist lectures and poster presentations, the “Science meets business” event took place on 12 March. This offered exciting workshops on skills for future managers as well as the opportunity for dialogue between scientists and managers.

Another highlight was the evening gathering at the elegant garden Hall of the Orangerie Kassel.

We are delighted with the successful participation and congratulate our doctoral students on their successful presentations!

Many thanks to the DGAW and all those involved for the excellent organisation of this inspiring congress!
