Working Group A on Environmental impact assessment and laboratory testing Assessment
focuses on evaluating the environmental impact of alternative
materials in construction applications, such as fill, roadbase,
cement, concrete, ceramic products, roofing materials, etc.
You can find out more about the activities of Working Group A
on Environmental Assessment in the on-line newsletter.
The membership list of Working Group A
also includes information about the activities and interest of
some members, as well as contact information for all members.
Chairman of this group is Julia Stegemann .
The thematic Network on Harmonization of Leaching/Extraction Tests can be viewed at http://www.leaching.net. The work of this group is quite related that of Iscowa's Working group A. The group aims at the harmonization of the many available leaching tests and the evaluation of their mutual relationships. Coordinator of the network is Hans van der Sloot.
Working Group B on Technical developments and materials management focuses on the matters involved in implementing full-scale use of alternative
materials (e.g. the evaluation of demonstration projects).
Chairman of this group is Chris Zevenbergen.
Working Group C on Public Perception and Implementation of Waste Utilization focuses on market, managerial, economical and political factors involved in the use of alternative materials. A group of 3 Chair Members has been formed to start activities: John Beenackers, Jan Senden and Rob Spoelstra.
If you are interested to join one of these working groups, please send your request to our secretariat by mail/fax or e-mail, or you can send us the completed registration form.
