Zabłocie, once a completely industrial area, is now home to cultural institutions and is also a center for artistic initiatives.

Kraków’s Kazimierz is a special place, shaped by centuries of Christian-Jewish coexistence. Jews arrived in Kazimierz in the mid-14th century, and until the early 19th century, they lived in what was known as the “Jewish city.” Today, Kazimierz is one of the most recognizable places in Krakow. This vibrant cultural and artistic district particularly attracts those who wish to experience the spirit of Krakow’s bohemia.

Every Can Counts – CANPACK supports circular economy by consumer education

At CANPACK, we believe that greater environmental awareness is a key factor contributing to high packaging recycling rates. Expressing our commitment to the circular economy, we have supported the Every Can Counts (ECC) program for years, together with other stakeholders from aluminium industry.

The ECC mission is to inspire, encourage and empower people to recycle their drink cans wherever they are, with a focus on out-of-home drink can consumption and collection. Beverage cans are already the world’s most recycled drinks container, and recycling rates are much higher than for other types of containers. In Europe, the aluminium can recycling rate is c.a. 75%. However, there is still room for improvement – the ECC project aims to reach 100%.

The ECC initiative has, since 2009, gone from strength-to-strength and is now active in 19 countries across Europe, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and Brazil. The focus of the program is on both communications and engagement on the biggest out of home events in the World like the Olympic Games, Formula 1, Moto GP, Carnival in Rio and music festivals – including Pol’and’Rock Festival in Poland.

SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT Podłęże-Zachód

Wodociagi niepolomice

We cordially invite the participants of the EUINDTECH 2025 conference to take part in a study tour to the Podłęże-Zachód Wastewater Treatment Plant, where you will witness firsthand the revolutionary wastewater treatment technology based on AeroMem™ MBR membrane bioreactors from Symbiona.

This is a unique opportunity to see why membrane bioreactors (MBR) are considered the technology of tomorrow in the field of water and wastewater management. Membranes are semi-permeable barriers that separate treated wastewater from sludge, retaining bacteria and most viruses. MBR guarantees the highest quality of treated water, opening up new possibilities for its reuse and environmental protection, which aligns with the principles of the circular economy. At the same time, the AeroMem MBR installation occupies significantly less space than a conventional wastewater treatment plant.

Wodociagi niepolomice

The installation in Podłęże is powered by photovoltaic panels, utilizing energy from renewable sources. In this way, this treatment plant is a true, model circular economy facility.

During the visit, experts will present the details of the plant’s operation, discuss the benefits of implementing MBR technology, and share practical experiences from its operation. This will be an excellent opportunity to ask questions and network with industry professionals.

The advanced technological solutions used at the Podłęże-Zachód Wastewater Treatment Plant are the work of Symbiona, an innovative leader in water and wastewater treatment technologies and circular economy in this sector.

The company’s technologies include innovative Anoxymem® Anaerobic MBR reactors for treating highly concentrated waste and wastewater streams (e.g., from bioethanol production) with extremely high biogas production and very clean effluent, low-operational-cost anaerobic reactor solutions DIGEFLO™ for wastewater from the production of ice cream, juices, bakery products, ready meals, recovery of biogenic substances, proprietary evaporation solutions – EVAPO®, and zero liquid discharge systems – ROVAPO®.

All Symbiona’s solutions are proprietary technologies, constituting the company’s know-how. Symbiona consistently sets new standards, creating environmentally friendly and economically efficient solutions.
