The International Conference on Resource Sustainability (icRS), sponsored by Resources, Conservation & Recycling journal, is a worldwide forum in which the latest research and practice in resource sustainability are shared, discussed and promoted.

icRS 2020 aims to provide collaborative opportunities for researchers and industrial practitioners to advance the critical role of resources in the Circular Economy from the perspective of both underdeveloped, developing and developed economies. icRS 2020 will encourage interdisciplinarity, and welcome contributions that span the natural sciences, social sciences, and engineering. We define resources broadly to include physical resources, biological resources, and “misplaced” resources.

Keynotes speakers will include Shay Brennan, Cathaoirleach of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council; Stephanie Hellweg, Professor of Ecological Systems Design at Federal Institute of Technology Zurich; and Arpad Horvath, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.
