This event become annual, and currently it is a very famous conference, attracting attention of target audience. From 250 to 350 specialists from CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) and other countries take part in our conference each year.

Market research, performed in Ukraine, and anonymous survey among conference participants have shown the necessity to carry our exhibition back-to-back the conference. The co-branded WasteECo events were successfully held in 2011and 2012.

WasteECo-2013 is a multi-purpose event, it includes:

• exhibition on environmental technologies and waste management;
