Save the Planet - a very timely event in view of the challenges in waste sector in SE Europe

The countries in South-East Europe, no matter whether they are EU members or future ones, all of them are aiming to become a part of the European recycling society. How will the new environmental technology solutions become available there?

The governments across the Region are currently updating their national legislation and the forthcoming Programming Period 2014-2020 will activate the local administrations and business to invest in modernising the old infrastructure in order to implement the EU waste targets: the countries must recycle 50% of its waste by 2020 and reduce the disposal of biodegradable waste to 25% of total volume.

So commendable are the aims that the rehabilitation of old landfills has been started and the demand for separating -, baling-, recycling- and composting machines has been increased. This attracts many international companies to step into the Regional market.

From 5-th to 7-th of March 2014, in Sofia, Bulgaria, ‘Save the Planet’ - the South-East European Exhibition & Conference on Waste Management, Recycling & Environment will open its doors.

Keeping pace with the market trends and demand, the event will provide participants with a quick market entry and lucrative opportunity to showcase their advanced technologies to all the important players in Bulgaria and the Region. The Conference will engage the delegates in lively discussions on real problems and possible solutions in policy and technological development, as well as best practices.

Since the first edition in 2010 ‘Save the Planet’ has marked a sustainable growth: the exhibition area has been increased nearly 10 times for the past 4 years and the number of exhibitors - 3 times for the same period.
