Exhibitors prepare for Futuresource

In addition to hearing from sector leaders, such as environment secretary and keynote speaker, Caroline Spelman (see letsrecycle.com story), delegates at the event will also be able to see and learn about a diverse variety of waste management products.

On stand M29, signage-system firm Agripa will be showing how it can help local authorities and contractors promote recycling messages to the public. Agripa has supplied its communication system to more than 222 local authorities and it is used on more than 3,000 refuse and recycling vehicles. An on-stand draw will be held to win a free Agripa system.

Vehicles are essential to the waste management sector and a number of manufacturers will be showing their wares at the event. Terberg Matec will be showcasing its new KTZ Underground and Over-ground Waste Collection and Transportation system on stands M20 and N20 in the silver zone.

Well-known vehicle manufacturer JCB is also exhibiting select equipment from its range. The company will have three of its models from the 30-strong Wastemaster range on show at the event; a 436HT wheeled loading shovel, a JS160W wheeled excavator complete with hydraulically raised cab, and the already popular Teletruk 35D.

Other types of materials handling equipment are also set to take centre stage. Liebherr is presenting its 316 Litronic Industrial Rehandler and its L 528Z2plus1 Wheeled Loading Shovel on stand P14.

In addition to products-focused stands the event will also see large waste management companies, such as Waste Recycling Group (WRG), exhibiting at the show. WRG has the largest stand (L28) at the exhibition and it includes a bar, lounge, and a private meeting room.

Lisa Bates, WRG's head of marketing, explained: “We're aiming to build on Futuresource last year when our stand proved one of the most popular at the event. Our team will ensure that we deliver a great welcome and all the information visitors need about WRG's leading edge services and initiatives.”
