THEMATIC TOURS
Hop on board Ecomondo's Guided Circular Economy Tours!
Experience the event in great depth with the 2026 Guided Tours.
Join themed guided tours through dedicated exhibition areas and selected companies. With a specialist guide, you will explore the main value chains of the circular economy, focusing on innovation, applications and market opportunities.
A common thread runs through all of this year's tours: the international dimension of these supply chains. Each tour shows how technologies, materials and regulations cross borders: foreign companies choosing Italy as a platform, Italian products reaching global markets, and supply chains designed to keep critical value within national or European borders.
You can sign up for the tours on both the website and the official Ecomondo app.
