• To ensure waste management is characterised by restraint. Waste volumes must be minimised and all waste sorted to ensure that as little as possible is incinerated or landfilled.
• Elmia must provide and put in place skips, receptacles, areas and equipment to simplify waste management, and ensure that skips, receptacles, etc. are clearly marked. Personnel, partners and contractors must be kept informed of Elmia’s intentions.
• Customers shall be charged for large amounts of landfill and hazardous waste.

Our objective is to make it as easy as possible for our exhibitors and visitors to deal with their waste. We will position environmental waste stations at the points where waste tends to be produced. Please help us to minimise the environmental impact of waste by separating and recycling it properly.
NB! We can only accept waste produced in connection with activities at Elmia.
