The following services are available upon request.
Venue and Suggested Hotel
Direct Access to Innovation: Discover cutting-edge sustainable materials, advanced recycling/upcycling technologies, and innovative PaaS (Product as a Service) business models.
Supply Chain Transformation: Obtain concrete solutions to successfully transform a traditional, linear "take-make-waste" supply chain into a compliant, resource-efficient system.
Regulatory Compliance: Gain practical strategies to effectively navigate and comply with increasingly strict global environmental regulations.
Strategic Networking: Secure reliable networks with high-quality secondary raw material suppliers and industry partners.
Actionable Insights: Acquire valuable, real-world knowledge from leading eco-design case studies to implement in your own business operations.
Automotive and Transportation
Tightening global regulations like the EU End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) directive demand that vehicles are designed for easy disassembly and high recyclability. This expo provides crucial connections to advanced battery recycling technologies, bio-plastics, and structural materials designed specifically for secondary reuse.
Electronics and Electrical Appliances
With E-waste being the fastest-growing waste stream, manufacturers face intense pressure regarding Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Attending allows these companies to discover reliable urban mining partners, advanced sorting automation, and modular design strategies to extend product lifespans.
Chemicals and Materials Manufacturing
As traditional petrochemical demand shifts, chemical companies must pivot toward bio-based, biodegradable, and chemically recycled alternatives. The event showcases the latest breakthroughs in cellulose nanofibers, recycled polymers, and depolymerization technologies necessary to maintain market competitiveness.
Consumer Goods and Packaging
Consumer packaging faces immediate plastic reduction mandates and a market push for fully circular solutions. Brands can directly source innovative monomaterial packaging, compostable alternatives, and closed-loop collection systems to satisfy both regulators and eco-conscious consumers.
Construction and Real Estate
The built environment is responsible for massive resource consumption and demolition waste. This expo offers construction firms access to low-carbon recycled aggregate materials, modular building components optimized for future reuse, and waste-tracking digital passports.
Information Technology and Software Development
The Reason: A circular economy relies heavily on tracking, data, and transparency. Software companies can find immense B2B opportunities here by offering or developing blockchain solutions for product passports, AI-driven sorting algorithms, and IoT platforms for tracking asset conditions in rental/sharing models.
Finance, Venture Capital, and Banking
The Reason: ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) compliance and green financing require rigorous data to evaluate investment risks. Financial institutions should attend to grasp how physical assets circulate, which helps them accurately assess the true residual value of equipment and evaluate the viability of companies applying for circular transition loans.
Logistics, Warehousing, and Supply Chain Management
The Reason: Transitioning from a one-way delivery system to a circular one requires complex reverse logistics. Logistics providers need to study how to efficiently collect, sort, and transport used products or heavy reusable packaging from consumers back to factories, transforming waste management into a highly profitable service.
Hospitality, Tourism, and Food Service
The Reason: These sectors generate immense amounts of single-use waste and food waste. Visiting allows operators to discover commercial-scale organic waste reprocessing systems, upcycled textile options for uniforms and linens, and large-scale reusable container systems to drastically reduce operational disposal costs.
Fashion, Apparel, and Textiles
The Reason: While fashion is inherently consumer-facing, the industry often operates on a purely linear model. Designers and production managers should attend to explore advanced chemical textile recycling, durable natural fibers, and digital tracking tools that facilitate garment rental or buyback programs before new strict regulatory penalties take effect.
