The world economy isn’t just at risk of energy shortages. It is also set to experience limited supplies of many other raw materials – take iron, copper, aluminium, or precious elements such as selenium and vanadium, for example. Recycling already saves countries with a highly recycling-based economy, such as Germany, the billions of euros involved in importing primary raw materials. That’s why another motto for Entsorga-Enteco 2009 is “Raw materials in the future”. As the leading international trade fair for waste management and environmental technology, and hosted by the Federation of GermanWaste Management Industry (BDE), it is a key event for technology providers and energy efficiency experts like you, tackling all issues of urban mining via recycling and recycling-based economies
