«Life as rubbish: what happens to our waste?»

Guests

  • Capucine Bert, Bio-waste Project Manager – Greater Avignon Urban Community
  • Damien Bourgeois, CNRS Research Director at the Institute of Separative Chemistry in Marcoule
  • Jérôme de Dompsure, Director of the Durance Ventoux Agency, SUEZ Recycling and Recovery
  • Simon Pradel, Waste Sorting Ambassador Coordinator – Greater Avignon Urban Community

The planet is overflowing with waste. Solutions exist, but are they sufficient? How can we distinguish between alarmist or out-of-context television reports, whistleblowers' statements and the reality on the ground?

Waste management is not a new issue, far from it. What is the situation today in our region? Is Greater Avignon a good or bad student? Personally, am I good at sorting waste? What should I put in my yellow bin? Where does my waste go once it has been collected? Is composting a virtuous solution? How can I reduce my household waste?

Our guests will be there to chat with you, give you everyday tips and answer your questions.

Whether you're a specialist or a novice, the Cafés des Sciences are for everyone who's curious about science.
