The stand also incorporated AI-based technology to present this information to the public in an educational manner. Through an interactive screen featuring videos starring animated characters from the SIGAUS universe, visitors were able to learn about aspects such as the treatments that enable waste oil to be transformed into new products, the environmental benefits of its proper management, and the characteristics of new-generation lubricants.

SIGAUS was also joined at its stand by GENCI, the SEPRS for the management of industrial and commercial packaging, which draws on the organisation’s expertise. This joint space also served to inform visitors about the obligations arising from the packaging regulations that came into force in 2025 and which affect companies marketing packaged products in the industrial sector, amongst many others. These obligations include the financing of the management of packaging waste placed on the market, which they can do through GENCI’s services.

The BIEMH 2026 brought together 1,543 exhibiting companies from 34 countries across its six halls, showcasing over 3,350 products and innovations aimed at sectors including rail, shipbuilding, oil & gas, aerospace, automotive, capital goods, defence, electronics, energy and steel.
