Entsorga-Enteco Gives a Strong Impetus to the Environment Industry

After four successful days, Entsorga-Enteco, the international trade fair for recycling management and environmental technology, closed its doors in Cologne today. 784 companies from 30 countries presented their broad range of products and services from the environment sector. About 36,000 trade visitors from 90 countries came to Cologne to see the trends and innovations of the industry. About 30% of the exhibitors and 30% of the visitors came from abroad, among them were visitor groups from Brazil, China, Finland, Japan, Korea, Poland, Thailand and Serbia. From 2011 on, the trade fair will continue under the new name ENTECO. Next to the already existing themes, resource and energy recovery will be a thematic focus of ENTECO. This includes technologies and services for the sorting, processing and treatment of potential recyclables and waste streams that are fed into further recycling.

The next ENTECO will take place on Cologne’s fair grounds from 6th to 9th June 2011. “This year’s event has impressively proved the high importance of an international environment trade fair in Cologne. The advancement of the trade fair conception with a considerably increased focus on the resource recovery sector bearing the new name ENTECO and the new two-year cycle are setting the event on course for the future,” says Gerald Böse, CEO of Koelnmesse GmbH.
