'Save the Planet' (waste management, recycling, environment) - South-East European Eco Forum & Exhibition

Scope: waste collection, transportation, waste treatment, landfill management and operations, waste-to-energy and recycling, services.

11 March 2015 - 13 March 2015
Albania
The core objective of ‘Save the Planet’ is to encourage the transfer of waste management and recycling technologies to South-East Europe and to provide its participants the opportunity to present their advanced products to all the important players in the Region.

SEE Member States are all aiming to become a part of the vision for a European circular economy. Governments across the Region are updating their national legislation, pursuing a strategy to modernise old infrastructures and promoting the waste hierarchy with innovative approaches. With EU Member States seeking to recycle 50 % of their waste by 2020, reduce the disposal of biodegradable waste to 25 % of total volume. The demand for separating, baling, recycling and composting has been increased and many international companies enter the regional market.
