　　1、 Deeply cultivating for 27 years, forging the flagship benchmark in Asia

The Shanghai Environmental Protection Expo originated from the Shanghai International Environmental Protection Water Exhibition (EPTEE) founded in 2000 and the IFAT CHINA (IFAT Exhibition is currently the world's leading environmental protection expo in terms of scale and influence) that entered China in 2004. Adhering to the excellent quality of IFAT exhibition for 60 years, Shanghai Environmental Expo has been deeply cultivating China's environmental protection industry for 27 years, and has developed into the world's second largest environmental protection exhibition after IFAT exhibition. It is a large-scale environmental protection exhibition in Asia that integrates business negotiations, technical exchanges, market expansion, brand marketing, trend release, and international cooperation.

In 2026, the 27th Shanghai International Environmental Protection Expo will showcase an area of 170000 square meters, attracting 1987 exhibiting companies from 20 countries and regions, and receiving 82419 professional visitors from 119 countries and regions worldwide. The number of international visitors has increased by over 30% for two consecutive years. The Shanghai Environmental Expo has always been a flagship platform for gaining insights into industry trends and connecting global resources. In 2027, this flagship platform willEmbark on a new chapter of evolution in the next decade with a fresh perspective.

　　2、 Theme Renewal: Strategic Reconstruction from "End of Line Governance" to "Circular Home"

Over the past 27 years, the Shanghai Environmental Expo has been renowned for its one-stop environmental solutions covering water, solid waste, air, and soil. The biggest change in 2027 is that recycling and circular economy have officially risen from "sub sectors" of exhibitions to "core engines". In the future,The Shanghai Environmental Expo will become a one-stop exchange platform for focusing on water, air, recycling, and circular economy solutions——Recycling and circular economy occupy half of the space, becoming strategic pillars on par with water and atmosphere.

This adjustment means that the exhibition is no longer just a showcase for pollution control technology, but is transforming into an industrial hub for the entire chain of resource recycling - from waste collection and sorting, recycling and processing to high-value applications, from industrial solid waste and household garbage to the recycling of retired new energy equipment. The circular economy is no longer a "bonus topic" of the exhibition, but a protagonist occupying the core stage alongside water and atmosphere.

Proposed at the 2027 Shanghai Environmental ExpoStrengthening the foundation and exploring new ideas, empowering with intelligence and innovationThe new theme is not only an update to the annual slogan, but also a structural reshaping of the exhibition's positioning. Maintaining the basic foundation of environmental end of pipe treatment in the "solid foundation", opening up new growth space through recycling and circular economy in the "innovation", and "smart circulation empowerment" pointing to improving environmental governance and resource recycling efficiency through digital and intelligent means - this is exactly the transformation of industries from "pollution reduction" to "collaborative carbon reduction and circular value-added" at the 2027 Shanghai Environmental Protection ExpoSystematic response.

　　3、 Sector innovation: Strengthen the full chain display of circular economy, reconstruct a new paradigm of collaborative pollution reduction and carbon reduction

In 2027, the exhibition will further integrate and upgrade the circular economy display section, presenting the entire chain of waste energy conversion, high-value utilization of renewable resources, comprehensive utilization of bulk solid waste, bioenergy, resource utilization of kitchen waste, and collaborative disposal of industrial solid waste in a systematic manner,Create a complete closed-loop display from waste generation, recycling and sorting, recycling and processing to high-value applications.At the same time, the exhibition deeply integrates the concept of "digital intelligence cycle", introducing digital tools such as AI energy efficiency optimization, carbon footprint tracking, and intelligent sorting,Upgrade the traditional "end of pipe treatment" to a full lifecycle solution of "source reduction process control end of pipe cycle".

This sector will be reformed in collaboration with exhibition areas such as carbon neutrality, energy conservation and carbon reduction, and waste resource utilization,Make the exhibition truly a panoramic industrial highland that integrates pollution reduction, recycling, and carbon reduction.
