Recent Sessions
(Session 25) Plastics, Reimagined: A session on plastic waste recycling
Plastic waste remains one of the most persistent environmental challenges in Asia and the Pacific. Recycling is a critical part of the solution, but effective interventions are not without challenges. This e-Marketplace session brings together three complementary technologies addressing different points along the plastics recycling chain. Join us for an insightful session exploring practical solutions for recovering, recycling, and reintegrating plastics into use.
- Circulyzer: Circulyzer developed a novel and efficient plastic waste washing & separation technology.
- EREMA: EREMA specializes in efficient, industrial-scale recycling systems designed for long-term viability.
(Session 24) Technologies at Work Beneath the Surface
Spanning thousands of kilometers, underground water networks keep our cities running. However, many water networks are old, complex and difficult to monitor. According to the Asian Water Development Outlook (AWDO) 2020, utilities in Asia and the Pacific lose about 29% of their water to leaks and inefficiencies. This session explores innovations that help utilities monitor, repair, and extend the life of water networks.
(Session 23) From Data to Decisions: Harnessing UK Digital Solutions for More Resilient Water Management
Co-organized with the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT), this launchpad session will feature innovations from UK-based providers that harness data and digital tools for more resilient water management. With climate risks and urban pressures intensifying across Asia and the Pacific, smarter approaches are needed to forecast floods, identify leaks in water distribution networks, and monitor wastewater in real time. These solutions highlight how turning data into decisions can help safeguard communities, protect ecosystems, and build resilience in the region.
1. Fathom: Fathom delivers hazard maps and catastrophe models to help risk professionals manage water risk with precision.
2. HR Wallingford: HR Wallingford developed Sim-On Water, a real-time web application which efficiently identifies and targets leaks in water distribution networks.
3. Detectronic: Detectronic Ltd designs and manufactures advanced flow and level monitoring solutions, delivering reliably accurate data for the effective management of wastewater and stormwater networks.
