The European Commission, Federal Ministry for the Environment, Federal Environmental Agency and RAL sent out a clear message for greater environmental protection with the exhibition on Dorothea-Schlegel-Platz in Berlin. The visitors also included public officials such as Virginijus Sinkevicius, EU Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, Prof. Dr. Dirk Messner, President of the Federal Environment Agency, and representatives from the Federal Ministry for the Environment.
The official opening on 28 September launched an eventful week that included award ceremonies to present certificates to the Camping and Holiday Park Wulfener Hals from the Baltic island of Fehmarn and to EGGER Holzwerkstoffe GmbH for their sustainable laminate flooring in the HOME & PRO collection, information events held by the federal association “Die Verbraucherinitiative e.V.” (Consumer Initiative Association) and the Berlin Centre of Competence for Water, as well as daily workshops for school classes. The family festival on German Unity Day rounded off the programme with lots of entertaining activities.
