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.

RUGGEDISED Final Event & Recharge Earth
The EU-funded project RUGGEDISED Smart Cities and Communities is hosting its final event next 6 September 2022 in Rotterdam (The Netherlands), followed by the Recharge Earth Energy Transition Conference (7-8 September), which will also feature RUGGEDISED best practices. The entire event takes place in the RUGGEDISED demonstration area, Heart of South, at the Rotterdam Ahoy Conference Centre.
The event will showcase the lessons from the RUGGEDISED project, where the cities of Rotterdam, Glasgow, Umeå, Parma, Brno and Gdansk have worked with researchers and private industry on pushing urban transition through Smart City developments and methods.
The first day of the final event is dedicated to learning, discussing and exchanging views based on the work done in RUGGEDISED. In sessions that will require engagement and openness from all participants, RUGGEDISED will invite attendees on a journey to shape how we will create buildings, districts and entire cities in support of climate neutrality. The programme will include sessions on ‘The Lighthouse Stories’, ‘Innovation capacity in European Smart Cities’, ‘How to set up city-led urban innovation systems?’, and ‘The Legacy of RUGGEDISED’, among others. There will also be different networking opportunities throughout the day. The event will close with study tours in Rotterdam to learn more about the RUGGEDISED innovations.
On 7-8 September, professionals involved in the energy transition will convene at the Recharge Earth conference, where RUGGEDISED will also share its best practices. The conference will include high-level political speakers and engaging plenary session. Important themes will be discussed in an international programme with RUGGEDISED partners putting special focus on how digitalisation and a social perspective can help support the energy transition throughout Europe.
