Recyclable waste is collected throughout the show from its build-up to its break-down, then sent over to the corresponding recycling sites:
- At build-up: wood, cardboard, metal
- At the opening: glass, paper, cardboard, NHIW (Non-Hazardous Industrial Waste)
- At break-down: wood, cardboard, paper, metal, carpet
In 2018, 11,000kg of EXPOSTYLE recyclable carpet was collected and handed to a polypropylene recycling site. They were given a second life under the form of aggregates used in injections in the plastic industry.

Created by Pollutec organisers to meet the growing challenges of maritime activities, Pollutec Sea & Coastline will be an event at the heart of the show, a meeting and exhibition venue within Pollutec.
In a dedicated 1,000 m2 space, leading industry professionals will have access to a wide range of ecoefficient solutions for reducing environmental impact and limiting the rapid degradation of marine and coastal habitats, as well as a forum for discussion and debates. This first edition will highlight the issues facing the Mediterranean and Provence-Alpes-Côte d`Azur (PACA) regions.
Moreover, innovation will also be in the spotlight with the establishment of a zone dedicated to startups.
The space is open to environmental, business, institutional and civil society actors developing a know-how, an expertise, a solution or a project integrating into a coastal territory with a huge impact on the marine environment.
It benefits from maximum visibility thanks to its access from Place des Lumières.
Managing risk, pollution and power in the marine and coastal environment
- Tools for monitoring and modelling bathing water quality
- Detection and treatment of accidental marine pollution (clean-up and emergency operations)
- Prevention and treatment of diffuse aquatic/marine pollution, macro and micro-waste (plastics, effluent, debris carried to the sea by waterways, etc.)
- Maintenance and clean-up of beaches, ports and coastal waters
- Management and recovery/recycling of collected marine waste and algae
Protecting the marine and coastal ecosystems
- Monitoring tools (drones, sensors and digital systems)
- Impact analysis of works and business activities
- Environmental and species renaturing and regeneration solutions (ecological engineering)
Development of coastal areas and infrastructure
- Climatic risk prevention and management – flooding, submersion and erosion – (warning systems and forecasting & planning tools)
- Coastal protection solutions (seawalls, groynes, breakwaters, etc.)
- Port activities (water and waste treatment, dry docks, electrification of dockland and port infrastructure, tourist areas, etc.)
Energy and ecological transition of maritime activities
- Alternative methods of powering ships and boats (less polluting or recycled fuels, hydrogen propulsion, traction kites, micro water and wind turbines, etc.)
- Onboard systems to reduce fuel consumption of ships and boats
- Shipbuilding and ship-breaking (ship ecodesign, end-of-life, recycling, etc.)
- Eco-products, boat maintenance and upkeep services (anti-fouling paints, maintenance work, etc.)
- Treatment of ballast water and other effluents – autonomous onboard systems
Integrated recovery of marine resources
- Thermal/marine energy
- Seawater desalination
- Raw materials

- Sustainable aquaculture, algae and micro-algae, marine biotechnology
Pollutec is the leading European event offering the broadest range of environmental solutions under one roof. The show covers all sectors and associated specialisms as part of a holistic approach to promote ecological transition and green growth. Starting at Pollutec 2021, we are launching a new event dedicated to solutions for the sea and coastline, with the aim of consolidating an offer focused on developing a sustainable marine economy.
For 20 years, Pollutec keeps consolidating a community of committed stakeholders to play a central role in analysing, supporting and transforming economic and human activities. This network aims at helping and turning human and economical activities into maritime and costal areas.
