Expo Milano 2015 provides the opportunity to experience the world’s best technologies for offering safer, healthier and greener food for everyone, with particular reference to focusing on our planet’s natural sustainability.

The Expo originated from the theme, ‘Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life’ and is now a universal project which has expanded globally.

The Expo opens its doors to more than 140 participating countries and 20 million visitors over the 6 month period. Visitors are challenged to reflect on their daily habits in terms of food waste which negatively impacts our planet - over 870 million people are living undernourished however 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted each year.

In line with its theme: “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”, as well as its adherence to sustainability and the circular economy, Expo Milano 2015 is implementing a waste management strategy that prioritizes all environmental and financial considerations that help:

• minimize use of resources
• maximize re-use, re-cycling, and re-purposing
• minimize production of waste to be sent to land-fill

The recycling system used on the Expo Milano 2015 site is the same as that currently operating in the city of Milan.

The five recycling categories are:

• paper and cardboard
• glass
• plastic and metal packaging
• organic, to include food scraps, as well as compostable and biodegradable glasses, dishes, and cutlery
• unsorted waste
