The first video conference in Targi Kielce’s history started at 10:00 in the C pavilion, the C-1 conference room. The conference guest was the representative of European Commission’s Directorate General for Environment, Mrs Artemis Hatzi-Hull from Brussels.

The debate was devoted to the pressing yet often unsolved and underestimated problem of end-of-live vehicles – old, faulty, unserviceable and post-collision cars. Often such cars still block parking lots; they are stored in back yards or end up in forests. Problems of combating the grey market have been discussed during the conference in addition to presentations of new, ecological technologies of vehicle scraping and educational initiatives in this business sector.

Old vehicle recycling, if implemented properly, is the measure which facilitates environment protection; thus the addresses of the conference are first and foremost the entrepreneurs who run car-breaking facilities, as well as recyclers, environmental protection specialists and those who combat the parallel market. The invitation has been issued by the “Odzyskaj Środowisko” (Regain the Environment) Foundation.
