This year’s program will feature groundbreaking projects\, fresh initiatives\, and unique opportunities for companies\, start-ups\, researchers\, and policymakers. Italy sets the stage as a leader in recycling\, resource efficiency\, and renewable energy—recycling over 10.5 million tonnes of packaging annually and generating €3.6 GDP per kilogram of resource consumed. Ecomondo 2025 will spotlight these successes while addressing pressing challenges like land use\, sustainable mobility\, and climate resilience. Join us to co-create a more circular and sustainable future.\n\nThis year\, ISWA will join Ecomondo once more with a curated program:\nTuesday\, 4 November 202510:00 – 13:00 pm – EU Projects Workshop (public)  | Camelia Room\, near Hall B6EU projects CIRCULess\, Wood2Wood\, EcoRefibre\, and ReBoat will be running a dedicated workshop on waste sorting and separation technologies to support the circular transition.\nWednesday\, 5 November 202510:30 – 12:30 – ATIA ISWA seminar – Innovative techniques for the Valorisation of Urban Waste | Ravezzi 2 room16:30 – ISWA Networking Reception | ISWA booth Hall B5-D5\, nr. 10\n  \nRegister today using ISWA’s discount code: F9SWA\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n \n \n Preliminary programme\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nDate\n\n\n \n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 5th November\n\n\nATIA ISWA Workshop 10:30-12:30\n\n\nRavezzi 2 (South Hall)\n\n\n\n\n\n16:30 – ISWA Networking Reception\n\n\nISWA Booth\nHall B5-D5\, Booth 10 URL:https://www.iswa.org/event/ecomondo-the-green-technology-expo-2025/ LOCATION:Rimini\, Italy CATEGORIES:Exhibitions,Highlighted,ISWA Supported Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iswa.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/logo_eco24.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251106 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251107 DTSTAMP:20260907T123337 CREATED:20251013T120111Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251105T121202Z UID:104555-1762387200-1762473599@www.iswa.org SUMMARY:3D Future Forum – Sustainable Cities\, Waste & Circularity DESCRIPTION:In preparation for the 30th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC COP30)\, ISWA is supporting a high-level event to advance the international collaboration on the transformational change needed to transition to a world economy that Decouples growth from waste generation\, Decarbonises and Decontaminates. \nThe 3D Future Forum: Sustainable Cities\, Waste and Circularity: Pathways to a 3D Future \nSustainable cities are cities that set high ambitions on waste prevention and waste sorting for valorisation\, as well as ensure they provide for the collection and safe final disposal of the waste that cannot be avoided nor recycled. Implementing these waste management strategies can unleash a mitigation potential of up to 20% of global emissions. However\, their full implementation requires a transition from the 3Rs (Reduce\, Recycle\, Recover) to reshaping business models and the global economy to achieve the 3Ds: Decouple growth from waste generation\, Decarbonise and Decontaminate the economies. \nThis high-level forum will serve as a platform for local authorities\, national governments\, private sector leaders\, and financiers to share challenges\, best practices\, and opportunities for collaboration in shaping projects that contribute to this ambitious transition. It aims to identify synergies\, strengthen partnerships\, and accelerate action towards sustainable and circular urban development. \nAnticipated High-Level Attendance (Invitation Only): \n\n\nCities and local authorities \n\n\nNational delegations \n\n\nPrivate sector executives \n\n\nDevelopment banks and financial institutions \n\n\n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.iswa.org/event/3d-future-forum-sustainable-cities-waste-circularity/ LOCATION:Barra da Tijuca\, Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil CATEGORIES:Highlighted,Highlighted-home,ISWA events,ISWA Supported Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.iswa.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Tentative_Flyer_English.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251110 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251122 DTSTAMP:20260907T123337 CREATED:20241011T134853Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241011T140237Z UID:94007-1762732800-1763769599@www.iswa.org SUMMARY:UNFCCC COP 30 DESCRIPTION:As the world’s leading network promoting professional and sustainable waste and resource management\, ISWA\, in collaboration with its dedicated members and esteemed partner organisations\, proudly carries the voice of this sector to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties 30\, better known as the UNFCCC COP 30.\nOur mission is clear: to call upon decisionmakers worldwide to recognise the Waste and Resource Management sector as a net reducer of GHG emissions towards a low carbon future.\nMore information about ISWA at COP30 will be shared later on.

As cities and nations seek to achieve circular and low-carbon goals\, the industry faces new dynamics that are reshaping how infrastructure is financed\, operated\, and optimised for long-term performance.  \nThis session examines the megatrends shaping the future of waste management — from the rise of project-financed infrastructure to evolving carbon policies and increasing feedstock competition. \nThese megatrends signal a decisive shift toward a new model of waste and resource management — one that integrates finance\, carbon\, and circularity into a single strategic vision. Understanding these drivers is essential for designing resilient\, investable\, and climate-aligned waste systems leading up to COP30 in Belém.  \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n Register to attend URL:https://www.iswa.org/event/iswa-road-to-cop-special-megatrends-in-the-waste-sector/ CATEGORIES:ISWA at COP,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iswa.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/logo_roadtoiswa_atcop_pos_rgb.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20251118T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20251118T150000 DTSTAMP:20260907T123337 CREATED:20251021T080334Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251112T081033Z UID:104819-1763474400-1763478000@www.iswa.org SUMMARY:ISWA at COP Special: Updates and Insights from ISWA Stakeholders DESCRIPTION:A Road to COP30 Webinar by ISWA\nThis special session will feature updates from ISWA members and partners on their COP-related initiatives\, along with a “Live from COP” segment\, where one of our partners will join us directly from Belém to share insights and outcomes from the first week of COP.\n \nWho Should Attend\n\n\nProject Developers & Operators\n\n\nMunicipal and City Leaders\n\n\nInvestors & Climate Finance Institutions\n\n\nTechnology Providers & EPC Contractors\n\n\nNational Policymakers & Regulators\n\n\nISWA Working Groups & Scientific Committee Experts\n\n\n \n Register now URL:https://www.iswa.org/event/iswa-at-cop-special-updates-and-insights-from-iswa-stakeholders/ CATEGORIES:ISWA at COP,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iswa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/iswa-at-cop-square.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
