PP Islands: a practical approach to the topic

Recognisable islands are set up as a leitmotiv in the different halls of the fair, where practical examples of successful PP projects, techniques and methods are featured.
In particular, the environmental technology and economic advantages are showcased. The islands are built round the following topics:

• Rational energy use
• Rational water use
• Waste prevention
• Waste water treatment and prevention
• Air emission and smell prevention
• Environment-oriented product development
• Environment-friendly packaging
• Process integrated environmental measures
• Environment - mobility and environmental communication
