CREC expands its delegation to ECOMONDO 2026 with a four-day stay and new thematic tours

CREC is returning to ECOMONDO 2026 with a delegation designed to facilitate its members’ joint participation in one of the leading international trade fairs dedicated to the circular economy, waste management, recycling and the ecological transition.

This year, the delegation includes new features to the travel programme that will make it possible to get even more out of the stay in Rimini, both by discovering the opportunities offered by the fair and by creating new contacts and collaboration opportunities.

A stay from 3 to 6 November

For this edition, CREC is extending the delegation to a four-day stay.

Departure is scheduled for 3 November from Barcelona Airport, with the return journey on 6 November from Bologna Airport.

The extended stay will provide more time to visit ECOMONDO, take part in the different activities organised during the fair and connect with companies and professionals from across the international sector.

New thematic tours to explore the latest sector trends

One of the new features of ECOMONDO 2026 is the introduction of thematic tours in English. These specialised tours offer participants the opportunity to explore in greater depth different areas, technologies and solutions presented at the fair.

The topics covered include:

  • Critical metals recovery
  • Water circularity
  • Smart waste collection and logistics
  • Textile circularity
  • Industrial bioeconomy

The different tours will be repeated throughout the days of the fair, allowing participants to combine them with other visits and meetings.

A shared experience with the CREC community

The delegation also provides an opportunity to share the ECOMONDO experience with other CREC member companies and organisations, fostering networking and the exchange of experiences in an international environment.

Participation in the delegation includes:

  • ECOMONDO entrance ticket
  • Hotel accommodation
  • Transfers between the airport, hotel and exhibition centre

Through this initiative, CREC accompanies its members on a visit focused on discovering new trends, identifying opportunities and building connections within the international circular economy and waste management ecosystem.

Registration open

Places are limited and exclusively available to CREC members, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Registration is now in its final stage. Companies and organisations interested in joining the delegation can reserve their place by contacting
