IE expo Shanghai covers environmental infrastructure across water and wastewater, supply and drainage, air-pollution control, solid-waste treatment, recycling, contaminated-site remediation, monitoring and low-carbon technology. Its distinction is the ability to compare municipal and industrial solutions across water, air and circular-economy systems instead of treating environmental equipment as a single-purpose category.
The platform combines the Shanghai environmental-water exhibition founded in 2000 with the IFAT China lineage introduced in 2004; the 2027 Shanghai event is the 28th edition.
