Dr. Yanye is invited to speak at the 2025 International Conference on Solid Waste

Recently, the 2025 International Conference on Solid Waste, jointly organized by Dongguan University of Technology, Zhejiang University, and the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, and co-hosted by Dongguan University of Technology and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Ecological Environment Science Center, opened in Dongguan. Yuan Ye, Chief Architect of China Construction Design & Research Institute and Lead Chief Architect of China Construction Engineering Design Corporation, was invited to attend and deliver a speech.

The conference gathered global experts, scholars, policymakers, and industry leaders in waste management and environmental science to discuss "Waste Management, Treatment, Utilization, and Recycling for Carbon Neutrality and a Circular Economy."

Dr. Yuan Ye was invited to speak on "From Global to Local: Net-Zero Solid Waste Architectural Innovation and Practice Based on Whole Life Cycle" at the Greater Bay Area’s Green BRI Innovation Forum. He presented a lifecycle-based approach merging global architectural innovations, advocating source-designed waste reduction over traditional end-of-pipe methods. His proposed closed-loop system—integrating eco-materials, smart construction, and low-carbon operations—offers a scalable model for sustainable building. Dr. Yuan also signed an agreement to join the Eco-Environment Science Center’s Enterprise Support Network on behalf of his firm.

Held at a pivotal time for global green transition, the conference advances international collaboration in waste management. It fosters deeper integration across sectors in the Greater Bay Area to build an efficient, low-carbon circular waste system.
