| Following the success of the fourteenth edition held in 2013, which saw the participation of more than 700 delegates from a wide variety of countries worldwide, Sardinia 2015 promises to be the largest event of the year in the field of Waste Management and Landfilling.

| A report by Columbia University claims that there is great potential to increase energy drawn from waste in the U.S.

| During the IFAT show, both production companies of the Bollegraaf Group - Bollegraaf Recycling Machinery B.V. and Lubo Systems B.V. - will present a selection of their latest developments.

| Ecube Labs will launch Clean Cap, the world’s first rubbish fill level monitoring device entirely powered by solar energy, at Ifat.
