TARGI KIELCE HACKATHON – TRADE FAIR EVENTS ON THE WAY TO GREEN TRANSFORMATION
The challenge is to propose innovative and more environmentally friendly product and/or technological solutions for covering the surface of various types of floors for the trade fairs industry, implementing the principles of circular economy.
In order to significantly reduce the environmental burden resulting from trade fair activities, we are looking for:
- biocircular product innovation with functional and aesthetic potential to replace polypropylene carpets commonly used in the exhibition industry; This innovation should:
- meet the bio-product criteria (made from organic materials available on a renewable basis);
- implement the principles of circular bioeconomy (biodegradation or the possibility of processing a waste bioproduct).
- recycling technologies of floor coverings used by Targi Kielce so far, along with a presentation of the possibilities of obtaining and using the results of recycling by Targi Kielce or other entities in the existing or new value chain.
