This year, the event was held under the catchy theme of "The Opportunity for Green Economy -- Waste Management". It provided various forums and events to share experts' technologies and experiences.
The Green Forum is one of the main events, and this year's keynote speaker was none other than Professor Dr. h.c. Walter R. Stahel, a well-known Swiss architect and a pioneer of the "Circular Economy".
The "Environment Exhibition" zone is introduced for the first time at this year's MIECF. It was a new pavilion that deals with waste management, green construction, and green transportation.
The Waste Management pavilion focuses on the "5Rs (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair and Recycle)". The Green Construction pavilion is related to facility management and air-conditioning systems. The Green Traffic pavilion includes buses and motorcycles that are powered via electricity, hybrid energy, and fuel cells. Furthermore, it also handles electricity stations, related infrastructures, batteries, and distribution solutions.
