POLLUTEC 2008

(Lyon Eurexpo - 2 / 5 December)
 


Forecasts confirmed: a record show
 


The 23rd Pollutec, the international exhibition of environment equipment, technologies and services, which took place from 2nd to 5th December at Lyon Eurexpo, fulfilled all the expectations it had excited of outstanding success by attracting 73,668 visitors, representing a 9.4% rise on 2006 (67,326 visitors).

 
The show also confirmed its position as the world’s leading event for the environment market, with an 11% increase in the number of visitors from outside France to 8,422 professionals drawn from 110 countries, compared with 7,579 from 105 countries in 2006. 


These exceptional visitor figures achieved despite a difficult end of year for many companies make clear just what a priority the environment has become today for the world of business and public bodies, and the sheer pulling power of a must visit event that this year featured 2,340 exhibitors (6% up on 2006), including 29% from outside France, who occupied a total of 108,300 m² of exhibition space (11% up on 2006).
 


VISITOR INTERESTS EVOLVING


> An analysis of the visitor profile reveals a highly significant evolution in their breakdown by activity compared with 2006, marked in broad terms by a drop in manufacturers and a steep rise in the number of specifiers (x 2), construction (x 3) and transport (x 2) professionals.


> This change in the nature of the visitors was reflected in a broader spread of visitor interests favouring such new sectors as Energy, Sustainable Building, Sustainable Development, Ethical Buying, Health or Marine Pollution. This year, energy was a prime interest for 39.7% of the visitors. This is a sector that has enjoyed very rapid growth at the show since 2004 and its presence now revolves around four main themes: renewables (19.5%), energy saving and efficiency (13.4%), combating greenhouse gases (3.5%) and urban mobility (3.3%).


The ‘sustainable development/eco-design/eco-materials’ theme also registered a strong surge and rose to fourth position amongst visitor interests (34.2%), followed by recycling, which this year saw a significant fall to 24%.


Nevertheless, the growth of interest in new themes was not at the expense of such traditional sectors as waste (36.1%) and water (35.9%), which retained their power of attraction. 
 


visitor objectives precise and satisfied


> The results of a survey of a sample of 513 visitors carried out during the show by the market researchers Occurrence demonstrate that Pollutec continues, after twenty years of existence, to respond to visitor expectations.


> Whether newcomers (46%) or show regulars, the prime concern of visitors was to obtain technical information or to research new products, services or technologies (89%), but they were also monitoring technology (80%) and sourcing new suppliers (73%). Our findings also show that 52% of the visitors questioned had come to the show in order to prepare for an investment.


Depending upon the particular objective, between 88% and 97% of the visitors stated that they were ‘fairly satisfied’, ‘very satisfied’ or ‘extremely satisfied’ with their visits. When asked about the quality of the exhibitors, the level of satisfaction rose to 98%, and stood at 93% for the innovations being shown at the exhibition.
 


and highly appreciated new themes


> Visitors expressed a high degree of satisfaction with the range offered by the show (98% were satisfied with their visit), and more specifically with the emerging themes, which received strong backing and 99% satisfaction for Photocatalysis, 97% for Mobility, 96% for Indoor air quality, 95% for Rainwater recovery and combating greenhouse gases, and 94% for Ethical buying. These figures make it clear that these new spaces have found their publics and they strengthen the determination of the show and its partners to develop themes offering future solutions.


> The second Buy&Care was another marked success, with 97% of visitors declaring themselves to be anything from fairly to extremely satisfied with it. Visitor objectives for this show were clear. First and foremost, they wanted to learn about sustainable buying (87%) and what was actually available (88%), as well as finding new ethical products and services (82%). 39% came with the aim of preparing for an investment or a set of specifications.


The market for ethical buying looks highly promising and 73% of visitors were interested in visiting Buy&Care 2009 in Paris.
 


greater international reach…


> One striking feature of Pollutec 2008 was the very marked increase in international visitors, which increased by 11% over 2006 to a total of 8,422 from all round the world. There were significant rises in visitor numbers from South America, Eastern Europe, North Africa and Asia. Numerous official delegations attended Pollutec this year and in particular these included ten US mayors, as well as delegations from South and Central America (Mexico, Venezuela and Chile), and the attendance of the Ministers of the Environment from the Ivory Coast and Guinea.
 


…attracted by high profile events


> The events associated with Mexico’s position as country of the year were a great success. Fernando Tudela, Deputy Minister for Planning and Environment Policy, met Mrs Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet and Mr Gérard Collomb, and, together with the many participating Mexican companies and institutions, was able to learn about the range of European environment technologies capable of satisfying the sustainable development needs and constraints of Mexico over the coming years. In short, this meeting of Mexico and the array of products and services on show at Pollutec has resulted in a firm desire for sustained collaboration with France.


> The Euro-Japanese Symposium focusing on innovative eco-technologies attracted over 200 people, including leading French, German, Swedish and Japanese experts and authorities from the sector. The meetings staged over two days were an opportunity to compare each others’ expertise and experiences in various sectors of innovative technology, and in particular in relation to vehicles of the future, new and renewable sources of energy, water and waste treatment and the energy efficiency of buildings.


This unique initiative, which was organized under the auspices of the French Presidency of the European Union, opened up the prospect of partnerships between Europe and Japan and which could, at the initiative of the Japanese authorities, lead to a new symposium being staged in Japan in 2009.


The symposium also served as a backdrop to the renewal of the framework agreement between ADEME and NEDO, which was formalized in the presence of Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet. This agreement has covered 20 years of scientific and technological collaboration on questions relating to policies, research strategies and priorities for international co-operation.  


> On 2nd and 3rd December Pollutec hosted the first Water4Health® Workshop, initiated by the Fondation Bullukian. Over 300 international experts from the worlds of science, economics and public administration met to discuss ways of integrating public health challenges into decisions about water management. The speakers agreed on the necessity of taking into account the differences between different countries and regions and the impossibility therefore of developing a universal management model. What did become clear was the absolute necessity of multiplying and supporting research projects and innovations involving both Water and Health.

The Workshop fostered meetings between major players in the field of water, allowed partnerships to be established and lines of collaboration to be identified against risks and with a view to the creation of lasting models for urban water management.


The conclusions of the Water4Health® Workshop will be presented in the form of a White Paper at the forthcoming World Water Forum at Istanbul in March 2009.

Business Awards for the Environment

The Eco-product for Sustainable Development Awards:

1st Prize: Sappel for the ‘Altaïr V4’ eco-designed water meter.
Installed in blocks and apartments, it is used for billing water distributors or dividing up charges in communal buildings. The composite body of the meter represents a technological advance in terms of the complexity of its manufacture (replacement of a brass metal part by a plastic one) and the improvement of the starting flow to 05 l/h, allowing the detection of small leaks (drip by drip).

2nd Prize: Nord Technique for the eco-designed ‘Cirrus’ bus shelter.
Its impact on the environment has been reduced by enhancing the use of recyclable materials in its manufacture and by eliminating heavy metals as well as carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic substances. A solar-powered version has been developed (energy saving and the elimination of the need to dig trenches in the urban environment for power supply).

Special mention for ‘Services’: Transformateurs Solutions Vénissieux for environmental analysis and the overhaul of electrical transformers.
The company overhauls electrical transformers used to supply manufacturing sites. It has developed environmental diagnostics for the various possible solutions to extend the lives of transformers.

Special mention for ‘Overall eco-design approach’: Schneider Electric Industrie for developing a range of eco-designed products.
The M340 automation platform illustrates the eco-design approach adopted for the development of new products. It does not contain batteries of any sort, excludes any kind of bromide flame retardant and is clicked together to make it easier to dismantle. Labels are replaced by laser marking. The product offers a 25% saving in electricity consumption a 70% reduction in weight (product and packaging) and is 80% recyclable. 


The Management and Initiatives for Sustainable Development Awards:

The Management for Sustainable Development Award: CMC Malongo for its general management approach
The progress achieved and the targets are communicated annually in the Corporate Ethical Responsibility report. 40% of coffee supplies use Max Havelaar labelled products. So far as the environment is concerned, the company (ISO 14001 certified since 2008) has set the identification, mastery and reduction of the impact of its activities, the sorting and exploitation of waste, the continuous optimization of packaging and the integration of eco-design into R&D as priorities.

Special mention for ‘Sustainable development initiative’: Groupe Casino for the development of the Carbon Index for Casino brand products.
Since the introduction of the Carbon Index in June 2008, the equivalent of over 22 tonnes of CO2 has been saved on products bearing this innovative piece of environment information. The group has also made software available to its suppliers that enables them to calculate the Carbon Index for their production choices and the purchase of raw materials.

Special mention for ‘Sustainable development initiative’: Appia Champagne, the Groupe Effiage road-building company, for the building of the South East Bypass for Troyes.
Between March and July 2008 the company built 6 km of the South East Bypass for Troyes and in doing so incorporated numerous innovations and implemented processes that will now be adopted in other Group projects: 50% reduction in CO2 emissions (low temperature surfacing), 50% reduction in energy consumption (gas), the saving of 23,000 tonnes of new materials (replaced by materials from demolition)…


The International Co-operation for Sustainable Development Awards:

Special mention by the Jury: Four Solaire Développement for the construction of solar cookers by school pupils in Morocco.
For the development of ‘solar cookers’ distributed through the schools to combat argan deforestation (an ancient tree from which argan oil is extracted). Each pupil makes his or her ‘solar cooker’ and takes it home, and each ‘solar cooker’ allows between 5 and 10 kg of wood to be saved every day.

Special mention by the Jury: The Franco-American international aid organization Blueenergy France for the installation of wind and solar electricity generators in Nicaragua.
The programme has resulted in the establishment of a local renewables system (hybrid wind-photovoltaic systems) and the creation of a new national Nicaraguan educational course on renewables.

This year, energy was a prime interest for 39.7% of the visitors. This is a sector that has enjoyed very rapid growth at the show since 2004 and its presence now revolves around four main themes: renewables (19.5%), energy saving and efficiency (13.4%), combating greenhouse gases (3.5%) and urban mobility (3.3%).


    The ‘sustainable development/eco-design/eco-materials’ theme also registered a strong surge and rose to fourth position amongst visitor interests (34.2%), followed by recycling, which this year saw a significant fall to 24%.


    Nevertheless, the growth of interest in new themes was not at the expense of such traditional sectors as waste (36.1%) and water (35.9%), which retained their power of attraction. 
     


    visitor objectives precise and satisfied


    > The results of a survey of a sample of 513 visitors carried out during the show by the market researchers Occurrence demonstrate that Pollutec continues, after twenty years of existence, to respond to visitor expectations.


    > Whether newcomers (46%) or show regulars, the prime concern of visitors was to obtain technical information or to research new products, services or technologies (89%), but they were also monitoring technology (80%) and sourcing new suppliers (73%). Our findings also show that 52% of the visitors questioned had come to the show in order to prepare for an investment.


    Depending upon the particular objective, between 88% and 97% of the visitors stated that they were ‘fairly satisfied’, ‘very satisfied’ or ‘extremely satisfied’ with their visits. When asked about the quality of the exhibitors, the level of satisfaction rose to 98%, and stood at 93% for the innovations being shown at the exhibition.
     


    and highly appreciated new themes


    > Visitors expressed a high degree of satisfaction with the range offered by the show (98% were satisfied with their visit), and more specifically with the emerging themes, which received strong backing and 99% satisfaction for Photocatalysis, 97% for Mobility, 96% for Indoor air quality, 95% for Rainwater recovery and combating greenhouse gases, and 94% for Ethical buying. These figures make it clear that these new spaces have found their publics and they strengthen the determination of the show and its partners to develop themes offering future solutions.


    > The second Buy&Care was another marked success, with 97% of visitors declaring themselves to be anything from fairly to extremely satisfied with it. Visitor objectives for this show were clear. First and foremost, they wanted to learn about sustainable buying (87%) and what was actually available (88%), as well as finding new ethical products and services (82%). 39% came with the aim of preparing for an investment or a set of specifications.


    The market for ethical buying looks highly promising and 73% of visitors were interested in visiting Buy&Care 2009 in Paris.
     


    greater international reach…


    > One striking feature of Pollutec 2008 was the very marked increase in international visitors, which increased by 11% over 2006 to a total of 8,422 from all round the world. There were significant rises in visitor numbers from South America, Eastern Europe, North Africa and Asia. Numerous official delegations attended Pollutec this year and in particular these included ten US mayors, as well as delegations from South and Central America (Mexico, Venezuela and Chile), and the attendance of the Ministers of the Environment from the Ivory Coast and Guinea.
     


    …attracted by high profile events


    > The events associated with Mexico’s position as country of the year were a great success. Fernando Tudela, Deputy Minister for Planning and Environment Policy, met Mrs Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet and Mr Gérard Collomb, and, together with the many participating Mexican companies and institutions, was able to learn about the range of European environment technologies capable of satisfying the sustainable development needs and constraints of Mexico over the coming years. In short, this meeting of Mexico and the array of products and services on show at Pollutec has resulted in a firm desire for sustained collaboration with France.


    > The Euro-Japanese Symposium focusing on innovative eco-technologies attracted over 200 people, including leading French, German, Swedish and Japanese experts and authorities from the sector. The meetings staged over two days were an opportunity to compare each others’ expertise and experiences in various sectors of innovative technology, and in particular in relation to vehicles of the future, new and renewable sources of energy, water and waste treatment and the energy efficiency of buildings.


    This unique initiative, which was organized under the auspices of the French Presidency of the European Union, opened up the prospect of partnerships between Europe and Japan and which could, at the initiative of the Japanese authorities, lead to a new symposium being staged in Japan in 2009.


    The symposium also served as a backdrop to the renewal of the framework agreement between ADEME and NEDO, which was formalized in the presence of Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet. This agreement has covered 20 years of scientific and technological collaboration on questions relating to policies, research strategies and priorities for international co-operation.  


    > On 2nd and 3rd December Pollutec hosted the first Water4Health® Workshop, initiated by the Fondation Bullukian. Over 300 international experts from the worlds of science, economics and public administration met to discuss ways of integrating public health challenges into decisions about water management. The speakers agreed on the necessity of taking into account the differences between different countries and regions and the impossibility therefore of developing a universal management model. What did become clear was the absolute necessity of multiplying and supporting research projects and innovations involving both Water and Health.

    The Workshop fostered meetings between major players in the field of water, allowed partnerships to be established and lines of collaboration to be identified against risks and with a view to the creation of lasting models for urban water management.


    The conclusions of the Water4Health® Workshop will be presented in the form of a White Paper at the forthcoming World Water Forum at Istanbul in March 2009.

    The Management and Initiatives for Sustainable Development Awards:

    The Management for Sustainable Development Award: CMC Malongo for its general management approach
    The progress achieved and the targets are communicated annually in the Corporate Ethical Responsibility report. 40% of coffee supplies use Max Havelaar labelled products. So far as the environment is concerned, the company (ISO 14001 certified since 2008) has set the identification, mastery and reduction of the impact of its activities, the sorting and exploitation of waste, the continuous optimization of packaging and the integration of eco-design into R&D as priorities.

    Special mention for ‘Sustainable development initiative’: Groupe Casino for the development of the Carbon Index for Casino brand products.
    Since the introduction of the Carbon Index in June 2008, the equivalent of over 22 tonnes of CO2 has been saved on products bearing this innovative piece of environment information. The group has also made software available to its suppliers that enables them to calculate the Carbon Index for their production choices and the purchase of raw materials.

    Special mention for ‘Sustainable development initiative’: Appia Champagne, the Groupe Effiage road-building company, for the building of the South East Bypass for Troyes.
    Between March and July 2008 the company built 6 km of the South East Bypass for Troyes and in doing so incorporated numerous innovations and implemented processes that will now be adopted in other Group projects: 50% reduction in CO2 emissions (low temperature surfacing), 50% reduction in energy consumption (gas), the saving of 23,000 tonnes of new materials (replaced by materials from demolition)…


    The International Co-operation for Sustainable Development Awards:

    Special mention by the Jury: Four Solaire Développement for the construction of solar cookers by school pupils in Morocco.
    For the development of ‘solar cookers’ distributed through the schools to combat argan deforestation (an ancient tree from which argan oil is extracted). Each pupil makes his or her ‘solar cooker’ and takes it home, and each ‘solar cooker’ allows between 5 and 10 kg of wood to be saved every day.

    Special mention by the Jury: The Franco-American international aid organization Blueenergy France for the installation of wind and solar electricity generators in Nicaragua.
    The programme has resulted in the establishment of a local renewables system (hybrid wind-photovoltaic systems) and the creation of a new national Nicaraguan educational course on renewables. Access to electricity for elementary needs (lighting and the preservation of products from fishing) has been provided for around 1500 people.
