Ecomondo, organized by the Italian Exhibition Group, is an international event that with 25 years of history has focused on supporting companies to be at the forefront of innovation in circular economy, in topics such as the use of clean energy or recovery raw material.

Andrea Batazzi, representative of MultiRep Services and Ecomondo in Latin America, explains how important it is for the organization to hold the event again in favorable sanitary conditions.

In October 2021, the fair returned in-person, but with a lower participation than 2019, which was a record. In this context, the expectation for Ecomondo & Key Energy 2022 is very high, both for exhibiting companies, Italian and international key players and delegations from more than 50 countries that will visit the fair.

One of the highlights for 2022 is to address the current state of opportunities and difficulties in the implementation of the EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy. What kind of actors will be involved in this matter?

On the subject of the EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy, the 2022 edition will see an important participation of representatives from the public and private sectors and, university. Also, international speakers will be part of the event within the framework of the Program of conferences and Scheduled Events that is being finalized.

Considering that there are countries implementing Circular Economy Roadmaps, Chile published its own in 2021 with ambitious goals for 2040. Will there be workshops or conferences with a special emphasis on this topic?

The Circular economy is at the center of the priority themes and, this year the focus will be above all on the (circular) bioeconomy with the aim of optimizing the business of all sectors committed to the production of renewable organic resources, including food and chemicals.

Regarding novelties, the 2022 edition has new themes such as: Textile Hub, Environmental Protection and regeneration, Food Waste and Start-ups and Innovation Area. Therefore, for Chile and its important business sector, and action on environmental issues, these topics can be of great interest and key for generating a delegation of Chilean companies and visit this year´s fair.

What is the relationship that Ecomondo has with Eurochile? And how important is the work it performs?
