International eco-industry meets up for the business platform of the year in Cologne

Entsorga-Enteco 2009 brings together all the market participants in international recycling management and environmental technology. International presence never higher, among exhibitors and visitors alike. Top-class supporting programme, dealing with the latest topics

The International Trade Fair for Recycling Management and Environmental Technology in Cologne, from 27 to 30 October 2009, once again offers trade visitors from all around the world a first-class spectacle. After conceptual restructuring with a strong emphasis on environmental technology, which was implemented extremely successfully at the last event in October 2006, ENTSORGA-ENTECO combines – for the second time – all sectors of the international recycling management industry and environmental technology in the Cathedral city. Entsorga-Enteco reflects the entire market like no other event this year, with offerings under the headings "Waste Management and Recycling", "Incineration and Renewable Energies", "Water and Liquid Waste", Local Authority and Environmental Services", "Technology and Logistics", "Air Quality Control and Emissions Protection", "Health and Safety at Work and Noise Protection", as well as "Research and Organisation". Koelnmesse, along with the organisers and the conceptual sponsors of ENTSORGA-ENTECO, the Federal Association of the German Waste Disposal Industry (BDE) and the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) Associations for Thermal Processing and Waste Management Technology and General Air-Handling Technology, are committed to extending still further the international relevance and appeal of the event in 2009. "The wide range of products and services makes Entsorga-Enteco the leading event of its type in 2009. By enhancing the international nature of the event we are further extending its role both at home and abroad," says Gerald Böse, CEO of Koelnmesse GmbH.

Entsorga-Enteco 2009 appears ideally set up to assume a trend-setting position in the market once again. Around 800 exhibitors from over 20 countries are expected in halls 6, 7 and 8, as well as on the Koelnmesse open-air site. Following on from 2006, when Entsorga-Enteco boasted an impressive international presence amounting to about. 25 % among the exhibitors and 30 % on the visitors’ side, this year’s event already promises an equally good outcome. Groups from the United Kingdom, Austria, Switzerland, Korea, Russia and Finland have already announced their intention to attend Entsorga-Enteco 2009. Conversations are currently being conducted with other interested parties from countries such as China, Japan and the Netherlands. Internationality is also being expanded on the visitor side. To this end intensive contact has been initiated with influential bodies such as trade associations, chambers of commerce and ministries abroad. Decision-makers from France, Finland, Rumania, Singapore, Kazakhstan, China and Korea have already announced their intention to visit Entsorga-Enteco 2009. This year’s Entsorga-Enteco is for the first time all about two trend topics. These are "Climate and Resource Protection" and "Energy Efficiency in Environmental Technology" These themes also form the umbrella for the technical supporting programme. Lectures, forums and special shows, all precisely tailored to the needs of the industry, will supplement the exhibition area and reinforce the attractive range of options at the event.
