Why floor planning matters at Pollutec 2026

Pollutec 2026 runs on 25 November at Eurexpo in Lyon, one of France's largest exhibition centers. The show regularly attracts tens of thousands of visitors and hundreds of exhibitors spread across multiple halls, covering environmental technology, water and wastewater treatment, waste management, energy efficiency, and the broader ecological transition. Walking the full floor without a plan means losing hours to dead ends, duplicated categories, and stands that do not match a buyer's specific procurement stage.

The five companies featured in this Shared Spotlight, Veolia, Xylem, TOMRA Sorting NV, EREMA, and Flottweg Separation Technology, represent a coherent first-day route for buyers whose mandates touch water treatment, circular-economy compliance, or industrial separation. Taken together, they cover outsourced water and decarbonization services, full water-cycle technology, sensor-based and AI-driven sorting for PPWR readiness, food-contact-compliant rPET recycling systems, and decanter centrifuge or sludge dewatering capacity. Each stand addresses a distinct procurement decision, which means a single route visit can cover multiple line items on a sourcing shortlist.

Why these exhibitors

Five stands, four buyer job categories, one walkable route

These five exhibitors are grouped here because their product and service categories map directly to the procurement decisions most common among Pollutec's core visitor base: municipal and industrial water management, regulatory-driven plastics recycling capacity, and process separation engineering. Veolia addresses buyers evaluating outsourced environmental services including PFAS remediation and decarbonization programs. Xylem serves utilities and industrial water managers sourcing across the full water cycle from a single supplier. TOMRA Sorting NV is relevant for operators of plastics or mixed-waste facilities assessing AI sensor sorting against PPWR output targets. EREMA is the stop for recyclers, packaging producers, and brand owners scaling food-contact-compliant rPET or post-consumer polyolefin capacity under EPR obligations. Flottweg Separation Technology serves municipal and industrial process engineers evaluating decanter centrifuge capacity, sludge dewatering throughput, or turnkey separation systems. This grouping is based on category fit and buyer job alignment, not on a ranking of exhibitor quality.

How to use this Shared Spotlight

Download the exhibitor list before you arrive Eurexpo's halls are large and signage changes between show editions. Pull the official Pollutec 2026 floor plan from pollutec.com the evening before and note the confirmed stand numbers for each of the five companies in this guide. Stand locations are not included here because they are subject to change after publication.
Match each stand to your active procurement decisions Read the 'why stop here' note on each exhibitor card before you enter the hall. If your mandate covers water infrastructure, prioritize Veolia and Xylem. If it covers waste sorting or plastics recycling compliance, route to TOMRA Sorting NV and EREMA. If sludge dewatering or separation capacity is on your shortlist, Flottweg is the targeted stop.
Walk the route in slot order to reduce backtracking The five exhibitors are sequenced to follow a logical hall-to-hall path based on typical Pollutec floor geography. Starting with Veolia and Xylem in the water and services zone, then crossing to TOMRA and EREMA in the recycling and circular-economy zone, then finishing with Flottweg in the separation equipment area, minimizes retracing steps across the venue.
Reserve time at the end for follow-up notes After completing the five-stand route, spend fifteen minutes in a quiet area of the venue consolidating the technical datasheets, business cards, and demo notes you collected. Pollutec afternoons fill quickly with scheduled meetings, and same-day notes are significantly more actionable than end-of-trip recollections.

Floor-planning tip Block a continuous three-hour window starting at hall open on 25 November for this five-stand route, leaving at least thirty minutes per stand for a technical conversation, and treating any time saved as a buffer for unplanned but relevant exhibitors you encounter along the way.

TL;DR
