TECMA AND SRR OFFER THE LATEST IN INNOVATIVE IDEAS WITHIN THE FIELDS OF TOWN-PLANNING AND THE ENVIRONMENT
• The innovative products and services at both exhibitions highlight the growing importance of the environment within town and city contexts
• The trade exhibition coincides with the staging of a wide-ranging Programme of Specialised Conferences, as well as the Eighth National Recycling and Recovery Congress and the New Features Forum. The exhibition also provides the setting for the presentation of the traditional Brush Awards 2010 organised by ATEGRUS.
Between 8th and 11th June, the halls at FERIA DE MADRID host the staging of TECMA, the International Town-Planning and Environment Exhibition, as well as SRR, the Recycling and Recovery Trade Show. Complementing the economic and social development of our towns and cities, as well as the introduction of environmental legislation, these fairs cater for the growing demand for products, services and solutions under the heading of town-planning and sustainability.
Organised by IFEMA, TECMA and SRR are aimed at professionals and companies that manufacture, market and install technologies and products designed for municipal and environmental planning and facilities, not to mention recycling and recovery activities that are essential for ensuring the sustainability of towns and cities. The two fairs bring together the products and services of some 379 companies (211 direct participants). These exhibitors will not only be attending from Spain, but also from Germany, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovenia, the United States, Finland, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Switzerland.
The Latest New Features for Urban Planning and the Environment
TECMA 2010 consolidates its leading role as the main point of reference for the industry and a forum for information where professionals can discover, at first hand, the latest new designs in furniture for towns and cities and for green areas, as well as equipment designed to promote sustainable maintenance. The TECMA exhibition presents the latest new features in the following areas: urban equipment; road urbanisation and services; parks and gardens; sports and leisure facilities; rehabilitation, maintenance and ornamentation; equipment and applications to eliminate architectural barriers; urban services; energy use and incineration; recovery and recycling; water treatment; sewerage treatment; treatment of other pollutants; and the protection and recovery of natural environments.
Among the most outstanding exhibits, we will find the following: urban sprinkler systems that reduce water consumption; lawnmowers designed to cover large areas; public toilets with self-cleaning systems; devices that reduce gas emissions and noise pollution; the latest prototypes in road sweepers and cleaners for small and large municipal areas; and independent container and packaging return systems.
With regard to the management of waste in towns and cities, we will discover the buried waste container lines that feature all the different elevation and emptying systems on the market. All are ready prepared for selective rubbish collection and feature state-of-the-art technology for cleaning and conservation, including ultrasound, among other systems.
The Recycling and Recovery Sector Provides Strong Backing for SRR
Promoted by the Spanish Recycling and Recovery Federation (FER) and the Spanish Automobile Scrappage and Recycling Association (AEDRA), the second edition of SRR, the Recycling and Recovery Trade Show, provides a key point of reference for the industry and a forum at which professionals can obtain extensive information regarding the most innovative ideas aimed at promoting sustainability in towns and cities.
More than 50 direct exhibitors come together in Hall 4 at FERIA DE MADRID in order to provide an overview of a sector that encompasses everything ranging from machinery and technological services for decontamination, recovery, fragmentation and recycling, to the re-use of all kinds of waste. The show also features the participation of environmental consultants and other activity areas that complement the business.
With regard to the products and services on show at the exhibition itself, SRR presents the latest solutions for the processing of tyres - including their re-use, recycling and re-treading - as well as the most advanced technology capable of turning tyres into an alternative form of fuel for cement factories. A prominent place is also granted to the different applications available for recovering components from end-of-life vehicles or for recycling televisions and computer screens. These advances have brought about a significant reduction regarding the number of tons of CO2 that are emitted into the environment on an annual basis.
As a whole, the show presents the recycling processes for all kinds of waste: end-of-life vehicles, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), televisions and computer monitors, batteries, tyres, plastic, glass, textiles, iron and non-iron materials, containers, building and demolition waste, organic waste, dangerous waste, and paper and cardboard, among many others.
Programme of Activities
Coinciding with the trade exhibitions themselves, a comprehensive Specialised Conference Programme will focus on the importance of developing urban services and caring for the environment. A number of leading companies and experts within the field will come together over three days in order to present the developments that have taken place over the last year and to exchange professional know-how and experiences within the different activity areas that make up the fairs.
On one hand, TECMA provides the setting for the staging of three Symposiums: "Urban Cleaning Services, Waste Collection and Sewerage 2010"; "Play Area Surfaces as an Essential Safety Feature"; and the "Second Conference on Town-Planning Today in Spain". These conferences will be organised by ATEGRUS (The Technical Association for the Management of Waste and the Environment), AEPJP (The Spanish Public Parks and Gardens Association) and A.E.A. Urbanistas (The Spanish Association of Town-Planning Lawyers), respectively. On the other hand, as at previous editions of TECMA, the New Features Forum brings together a series of informative sessions aimed at promoting and launching innovative products and services through a series of detailed presentations carried out by the companies taking part at the fair.
The activities linked to SRR include the following: the staging of the Fourth National Meeting on the Management and Recycling of End-of-Life Vehicles organised by SIGRAUTO (The Spanish Association for the Environmental Processing of End-of-Life Vehicles); the presentation of the Project for a Spanish Guide for Recycled Sand and Cement Products, organised by GERD (The Guild for Rubble Recycling Bodies); and the Eter Project organised by the Spanish Ministry for the Environment and Fórum Medioambiental. Finally, we might highlight the staging of the conferences known as "Reach: Recovered Waste and Substances: Making a Difference through the Carbon Footprint and Corporate Social Responsibility", promoted by FER and REPACAR (The Spanish Association of Paper and Carbon Recovery Operators) and Fundación Fonética, respectively.
All of these activities are complemented by FER's organisation of the Eighth National Recycling and Recovery Congress, an event that brings together a number of professional Spanish environmental recovery and recycling experts.
Another of the activities that traditionally coincides with the staging of TECMA/SRR consists of the presentation of the Brush Awards 2010, an initiative organised by ATEGRUS whose aim is to recognise the sustainable development initiatives and eco-friendly measures carried out by different companies and institutions.
Both fairs will be open between 10.00 a.m. and 7.00 p.m., except for on Friday 11th June, when they will close at 3.00 p.m.
