| International Exhibition of Environmental Equipment, Technology Pollutec Horizons, the future solutions show for environmental and economic challenges, will welcome nearly 1,500 exhibitors and 40,000 visitors to an area of 50 000 m2 from 27th to 30th November this year at Paris-Nord Villepinte. As a key player in the international environment market, Pollutec Horizons is reflecting the changes in it by offering a response to all those professionals confronted by new environmental challenges. The show will present a comprehensive panorama of solutions to such key ecological challenges as the treatment of pollution, making the most of resources, fighting climate change, reducing the impact of pollution on health and working towards sustainable development. The range of exhibits at Pollutec Horizons is being presented in a different way in order to make it easier to identify solutions in terms of major concerns and to respond more effectively to visitor expectations. In addition to the show's traditional sectors – pollution treatment, analysis-measurement-monitoring, risk prevention and management – certain sectors will be enhanced and new themes will be covered: water saving, recycling and exploitation of materials, photocatalysis, combating greenhouse gases, renewables, economical building, sustainable building, natural risks, health and the environment, ethical buying, protection of natural environments, urban mobility. Pollutec Horizons will also serve as the venue for the first Buy&Care, the new ethical buying show that aims to bring buyers from the public and private sector together with the suppliers of products and services carrying eco-labels or that meet the criteria for ethical products. Research into and the development of dedicated new products and services are vital if such new challenges as the increasing scarcity of resources and climate change are to be confronted. That is why, more than ever before, Pollutec Horizons will act as a show case for innovation. As of 17th July, many of the innovations that the press office had been told about focused on new challenges: sludge treatment, exploitation of worn tyres, renewables, decontamination of soils and analysis-measurement-monitoring. The Île de France pavilion will also play host to an 'eco-innovation village' occupied by a selection of innovative companies from the Île-de-France region. This year, the organizers of Pollutec Horizons are demonstrating their desire to highlight international expertise still further by working in conjunction with several new developments. Nearly a third of exhibitors originate from abroad and they will be present both with individual stands and in the national pavilions: Austria, Belgium (Wallonia), Canada, Germany (North Rhine Westphalia and Bavaria), Hungary, Japan, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and the United States, … have already been announced. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
