Exclusively for Ontario Based Remediation Practitioners

The combined market size of soil and groundwater remediation in China is estimated as $6.4 billion per year by 2015. The soil remediation market is growing rapidly and is predicated to exceed $115 billion by 2020! If you would like to learn how to tap into this market, you won’t want to miss this event.

Strict regulations and government policies are newly developing in China. In 2013, the Chinese State Council issued a “Soil Protection and Comprehensive Soil Management Circular” to call for building soil remediation demonstration pilots around major cities, key areas with heavy metal pollution control issues, and centralized drinking water sources; As a result, the Chinese government is investing billions of dollars in soil remediation projects. Brownfield remediation for commercial development has been the main driver in large cities.
