Ecomondo the benchmark event in Europe for technological and industrial innovation for circular economy

Ecomondo is the leading Euro-Mediterranean area green and circular economy expo. An international event with an innovative format that brings together all sectors of the circular economy in a single platform: from material and energy recovery to sustainable development.

Italy is among the leading countries in Europe in the green and circular economy, in particular in energy efficiency, waste recycling and resource productivity. For this reason, Ecomondo is a reference point in the international panorama, where all the leading companies of the sector can meet and discover the trends, innovations and new technologies and exchange views with sector professionals

ISWA’s gold member Hungarian Association of Environmental Enterprises invites you to their event in Budapest, Hungary 8 – 9 November 2022. 

A coordinated action plan to tackle plastic pollution in the Danube and Tisza rivers

Despite the advanced waste management and ambitious recycling objectives of the EU, studies indicate the presence of macroplastic and microplastic pollution in rivers of Europe.

The Tid(y)Up project focuses on the improvement of water quality and reduction of plastic pollution in one of Europe’s most heavily contaminated rivers, the Tisza, and investigates plastic pollution and its effect on the Danube and the Black Sea.Currently there are no standard methods and consistent data available on plastic pollution of rivers in the Danube Basin that would help harmonized actions of water management authorities and allow cooperation with other sectors.

The Tid(y)Up project is a cross-border cooperation project along the Tisza and Danube rivers, involving 6 countries, 10 partners and 11 associated partners to improve the status of rivers. With the help of scientific experts, the project aims to develop a standard monitoring protocol to effectively and accurately assess macro- and microplastic pollution in river water. Using existing research methods and good practices, Tid(y)Up will also implement concrete river clean-up interventions in the Danube river basin, with a particular focus on awareness raising, dissemination, communication and dissemination of project results to EU experts and decision-makers.

As a closing chord of the project a two-day event will be organised on 8-9 November 2022 in Budapest and Kisköre, HUNGARY.

Venue: Budapest University of Technology and Economics (1111 Budapest, Műegyetem rkp. 3.) and Kisköre, Hungary
Organisers:Hungarian Association of Environmental Enterprises, Naturefilm.eu and IO-BAS
