On 22–24 October 2019, ECC Sokolniki in Moscow will host the 16th International Exhibition of Equipment and Technologies for Waste Management, Recycling and Wastewater Treatment and the First International Environmental Technology Congress Wasma. The General Sponsor of the event will be EcoLine Group, a leading waste management operator in the Moscow Region.
Wasma is a specialised annual exhibition introducing visitors to the equipment designed to collect, transport, sort out, process, and recycle industrial and household waste, as well as to wastewater treatment equipment.
Nowadays the issues of environmental safety and living in a healthy and positive urban environment are particularly burning and find support and response at all level of public administration.
Starting from 2019, Russia switched to a new municipal solid waste management system. The key objective of the new system is to create infrastructure for waste collection, treatment and disposal, and to increase the share of recycling to 80 % by 2024.
The new waste management rules urge the companies directly engaged in waste removal and processing and the manufacturing companies to use new approaches and technologies in order to secure their goals in effective ways.
This year the exhibition and the congress will be held with the participation and support of the Russian Ministry of Nature, the Russian Environmental Operator, and the Clean Country Association.
