USA, on undertaking small water and environment projects that involve a team of WPI students working in Albania for a period of 8 weeks. \u00a0This year, the WPI team in collaboration with SHUKALB undertook a project titled \u201cAssessing Opportunities to Reduce the Environmental Impacts of Brewery Waste in Albania\u201d.\u00a0 The main goal of the project was to work alongside Albanian breweries, regulatory agencies, and members of the public to compile research on current practices and develop incentives and recommendations for improvements in brewery waste management.<\/p>\n<p>With the support of SHUKALB, the WPI team visited various breweries across Albania and conducted interviews and tours to assess how each brewery manages their waste. \u00a0The team conducted a research on current Albanian regulations and gathered interviews to members of the wastewater treatment industry to get a full picture of the impacts of brewery waste on the environment.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3001\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3001\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a

team conducted a consumer survey through SHUKALB\u2019s communication tools, to find out more about what drives the beer market in the country.\u00a0 In addition, the team identified incentives for breweries to improve their practices by conducting a cost benefit analysis and surveying Albanian beer consumers.<\/p>\n<p>On 10 December 2019, the WPI team and SHUKALB staff gathered in Tirana, where the team presented the final study report and the outcome of the project. \u00a0Present at the event were also Prof. Robert Kinicki and Prof. Robert Hersh from the Worcester Polytechnic
