Programme
Background:
This event is focused on new markets where innovative companies, new processes and emerging technologies have turned former waste products into profitable resources. Delegate numbers to this key industry conference have grown since its inception in 1999. Run by FIEA in association with a number of principal partners this key networking event takes place on a biennial basis.
Originally focused on turning sawdust and bark into valuable revenue streams from waste products this conference has now widened in scope over the years to include developments in clean technologies globally. In March 2011 over 300 delegates attended the conference series, which was held in both New Zealand and Australia.
