The Shorthorn –
For the past two weeks, UTA has been the center of a potential global innovation for safer and more efficient waste management. Civil engineering professor Sahadat Hossain created the Solid Waste Institute for Sustainability in 2015. The institute coordinates efforts to reform waste management systems both locally and around the globe. Hossain’s interest in forming a group to tackle waste disposal issues head-on started with his work with the City of Denton and the International Solid Waste Association during the past decade.”
