OTTAWA (Scrap Monster): The 2011 Canadian Waste & Recycling Expo held last month turned out to be huge success in history with a sold out show floor. The 14th edition hosted 182 exhibitors from 4 countries in 82,593 gross square feet.
Responding to feedback from key exhibitors and manufacturers in the industry, the Canadian Waste & Recycling Expo (CWRE), Canada’s only trade show serving the waste, recycling and public works markets, held its 14th exhibition for the first time in Montreal, QC, November 9 – 10 at the Palais des Congres de Montreal.
The event showcased 182 exhibitors from Canada, the United States, China, The Netherlands, Austria, Germany and Italy focused on all aspects of collection, hauling and processing of waste and recycling programs.
In addition, the show welcomed a total of 2,259 attendees from 18 countries who experienced the products, services and technologies offered by exhibitors, learned about industry innovations and networked with peers during the many special events.
“Having the show for the first time in Montreal proved to be a big success,” said Arnie Gess, Consultant for Messe Frankfurt Inc. “Quebec has a huge waste & recycling market with several industryleading manufacturers that showcased their equipment at the show”.
The 2 ½ day CWSS event included three facility tours and 1 ½ days of sessions covering a variety of the most relevant topics facing the industry.
“The 2011 Canadian Waste Sector Symposium (CWSS) in Montreal was a huge success - over 280 registered delegates enjoyed three tours (11 facilities), six keynote and over 44 speakers in total.
The CWSS in just two years has become the focal point for the waste management sector across Canada to meet and discuss important and emerging sector issues,” said Robert Cook, Chief Executive Officer, Ontario Waste Management Association (OWMA).
