Pollutec, the international leading show for environmental professionals, a shop window for environmental solutions for businesses, cities and regions, and a launchpad for market innovations and international development, will be held in Lyon, France, from 12-15th of October.
For more than 40 years, Pollutec has been a great source of inspiration for professionals in search of practical solutions and innovation and new connections with key players in the industry.
During 4 days, Pollutec covers a wide range of sectors such as waste management, water management, energy and energy efficiency, contaminated sites and soils, sustainable cities and buildings, air quality, odours and noise, instrumentation, metrology and analysis, risk management and prevention, biodiversity and natural environments, sea and coastline etc.
Pollutec 2021 is an exhaustive seminar programme across 5 key environmental challenges: decarbonisation of industry, management of water resources, biodiversity and businesses, waste management and the fight against soil artificialisation.
In parallel, spurred-on by the success of 2018, the show will replicate its Circular Economy Forum, the stream dedicated to implementing the principles of circularity for cities, regions and businesses. This also provides an opportunity to examine political advances, both at national and European level, and to understand the effects of these legislative changes from different angles.
Ever so popular since its inception in 2016, another show highlight is the Pollutec Innovations Awards showcasing best -in-class innovations from French and international eco-innovative companies.
Punctuating the 4 days, in addition to all the talks, workshops, business meetings etc., Pollutec offers a number of innovative features and educational activities such as:
- The “Gaïatica” Escape Game
- A Water Hub
- Pollutec Sea & Coastline show
- Seas of Plastic show
To date, 27% of visitors who registered for Pollutec are international. They will get the opportunity to meet with more than 300 international exhibitors from 26 countries.

The developments that are needed in technology, financing and infrastructure to fast track the growth of the industry in a carbon free world
SAE Media Group is delighted to present the return of the 15th annual Energy from Waste conference taking place on the 5 -6 December 2022 back in London, UK.
Waste conference will bring together international waste management operators, developers, bankers, private equity financiers, technology providers and industrial end users for two days of intensive networking, discussing developments that are needed in technology, financing and infrastructure to ensure the solutions are available to fast track the growth of the industry worldwide.
With case studies from the leading Energy from Waste plants within UK and Europe the event will give an overall look into all aspects of running a successful facility. We delve deep into both small scale and large-scale production and understand the benefits and constraints found within both size projects, in addition to finding out how new innovations can maximise value and optimise investment returns.
A focus on how Energy from Waste sits within the UK’s ambition on the road to net zero and how technology within the Carbon capture and storage market coupled with the evolvement and implementation of district heating is an essential part of that journey. With updates on how legislation and policy can stimulate more investment this comprehensive conference remains an essential calendar date for those in the Energy from Waste community
Benefits of attending:
- Witness case studies giving updates on the challenges and opportunities facing Energy from Waste projects in England, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, The Netherlands, Scotland and Poland
- Learn of the technical challenges of optimising output from energy from waste plants and the compatibility of EFW with CCS and Hydrogen production
- Determine the trends, innovations and challenges of sustainable financing
- Uncover how carbon pricing can drive a more circular economy where resource productivity is higher and waste leakage lower.
- Understand the key economics of financing EFW plants and how they differ from other types of renewable generation
- Gain an in depth understanding of the opportunities that CCS technology has for Energy from Waste industry
- Discover if the EFW market in the UK is at capacity and where it is heading
