The two-day event sees nearly 80 units from sectors and localities showcasing ‘green’ products and environmentally-friendly production models and technologies, which combine the enhancement of product quality and the protection of the environment and public health.

As part of the programme, a “TRASHION runway show’ is taking place with the message of protecting the environment through the smallest acts, joining hands to preserve the beautiful nature and reducing plastic waste.
