The Sustainable Remediation Conference 2012 intendes to offer a platform for professionals and interested parties from various fields in order to share experiences and perspectives on how contaminated sites can be remediated with a lower environmental footprint, and how their reuse can contribute to a more sustainable development.

The the topics of the conference encompasse multiple issues:

• 'Greening Remediation' -  the reduction of environmental footprints of remediation works
• Opportunities form Synergy - land recycling, renewables, integrating at regional scales, optimizing 'working with nature'; combined benefit approaches
• Case-studies and eco-efficient technologies
