Ecomondo, the ‘beacon’ event for ecological transition, is back

The best ‘green’ technological solutions will be on show in the halls of Italian Exhibition Group's Expo Centre in Rimini from 8 to 11 November

The exhibition will be arranged according to Ecomondo’s four pillars:

•One: Management and valorisation of waste and its transformation into a second raw material; 

•Two: Circular bio-economy and bio-energy; 

•Three: Treatment and management of water resources; 

•Four: Reclamation and redevelopment of contaminated and disused industrial sites and hydro-geological risk. From large machinery for metal recovery to digital control solutions for distributing water; from technologies for regenerating soil and degraded industrial sites to 3D printers powered by bioplastics.

With particular reference to the NRRP, supply chain and ‘beacon’ conferences, the 2022 edition of Ecomondo will feature a series of congresses and seminars with experts, researchers, companies and national and international institutions with the everincreasing involvement of the European Commission, thus making the IEG event of prime European and Mediterranean importance on the innovation and ecological transition policy front. The organisers have also paid thanks to the work of the Technical-Scientific Committee headed by professor Fabio Fava from Bologna University.

Special content will also feature: 

•The Textile Observatory: The hub that since the 2021 edition has aimed to unite all the main players along the supply chain, from waste producers, to managers, consortiums, trade associations and research and development institutes, with focus on ecodesign in sustainable textile production; 

•Environmental protection and regeneration: From ‘trenchless technologies’ to the remediation and redevelopment of polluted sites and the regeneration of coastlines; the very best of authentic, made-in-Italy, environmental protection solutions that provide planning services for major works, will all be on show in Rimini; 

•Food waste: In order to achieve objective 12 of the 2030 Agenda, institutions, companies and citizens must reduce food waste. Ecomondo will present the latest technologies and good practices that combine food quality and waste reduction in the pre- and post-consumption phases;

•Sanitisation Village: Another area that made its debut at the last edition will be back with technologies and products that are now an integral part of prevention and health standards in public and private workplaces; 

•Start-ups and Innovation: Italian and international start-ups and scale-ups will be at Ecomondo to complete the green technology supply chain with innovative products and services, from recycling to renewables, in partnership with ITA-Italian Trade Agency and ART-ER.

Ecomondo will host the 11th edition of the States General of the Green Economy promoted by the National Council for the Green Economy in collaboration with the Ministry of Ecological Transition and with the support of the European Commission.
