This month, we are putting out a call for speakers.
In 2015, the UN Member States adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are an urgent call for action by all countries.
Remtech Europe, is organising Sustainathon - a 24-hour insight into progress towards the SDGs.
Starting at 12:00 GMT on Thursday 23 September 2021 and finishing at 12:00 GMT, Friday 24 September 2021. 50+ speakers will be invited from across 7 continents to explain what is special and inspiring about how their country (or one they are very closely associated with) is progressing towards one, more or all the SDGs.
The virtual baton will pass from country to country, time zone to time zone across all 26 time zones.

CL:AIRE and r3 environmental technology are delivering a Concawe Project (www.concawe.eu) called “Case Studies and Analysis of Sustainable Remediation Techniques and Technologies”.
We are seeking relevant case studies of sustainable remediation techniques and technologies, with a specific focus on European examples. Concawe is particularly interested in gentle (or low intensity) remediation options. By sharing case studies the project aims to encourage uptake of these options at sites where they are suitable.

A new British Standard has been published: BS EN ISO 12404:2021 Soil and waste - Guidance on the selection and application of screening methods.
It provides guidance on the selection and application of screening methods for assessing soil quality and waste characterisation, including distribution of target parameters in soil and soil‑like material. The aim of the document is to set up criteria as to when the different kind of screening methods can be applied for the analysis of a certain parameter in soil, including soil‑like material, and waste, and which steps are required to prove their suitability.
