At the exhibitors' stands, visitors could explore technologies for waste sorting, shredding, separation and baling, automation systems, as well as solutions for recovering metals, plastics and other raw materials. Solutions were presented by companies including UNTHA Polska, ORWAK Polska, SKAKO, HSM Polska, MB Recycling, Eneris Surowce, Ferag Polska and Argus Maszyny.


The expert programme was another strong pillar of the event. The ``Innowacje i nowe technologie w GOZ`` conference, organised by Klaster Gospodarki Cyrkularnej i Recyklingu, focused on technologies supporting the development of the circular economy. Speakers included Zuzanna Lulińska, dr Piotr Świerczyński, Agnieszka Zdanowicz and Weronika Czaplewska. The discussions covered topics such as: · automation and artificial intelligence, · energy efficiency, · raw material recovery, · practical implementation of circular economy solutions. The significance of Recycling Tech was further emphasised by the honorary patronage of Ministerstwo Klimatu i Środowiska, Narodowy Fundusz Ochrony Środowiska i Gospodarki Wodnej and Marszałek Województwa Mazowieckiego, as well as cooperation with Klaster Gospodarki Cyrkularnej i Recyklingu. There was also a special moment when industry innovation took centre stage. The Excellence Award Trade Fair Medal Ceremony recognised companies and solutions distinguished by their quality and innovative approach. Who was among the winners?
