At this week’s China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, sustainability is center stage 🌱. The environmental services exhibition has drawn giants like Austria’s Voith Group, Germany’s BMZ Group, and Brazil’s Braskem, showcasing tech that turns waste into gold—literally.
From converting plastic scraps into durable building materials to transforming food waste into biodegradable packaging, companies are flipping the script on pollution. One standout? Ireland’s Waste2Wear, which turns discarded fishing nets into chic activewear 🎽. Think Ocean Cleanup meets streetwear vibes.
Over 70% of exhibitors are first-time participants, reflecting global urgency to tackle climate challenges. Germany’s pavilion highlights AI-powered recycling systems, while Swiss innovators demo carbon-capture tools for cities. “This isn’t just business—it’s our survival toolkit,” shared a French tech rep.
With Gen Z’s eco-conscious wave 🌊, these solutions could reshape how we shop, build, and live. Who knew trash could be this trendy?
