The 2019 ECA Canoe Polo European Championships will carry an Eco evenet label which gives the event a character of responsibility, concern and sustainability. On the venue there will be a separate collection system for the disposal of packaging waste from the public and the participating entities. It is part of this commitment to implement the programme and ensure that this waste is collected and sent to ERSUC facilities, where it will be sorted and subsequently sent for recycling.

The medals in women's senior event went to Germany, France and Switzerland, in men's senior event to Spain, Germany and Italy, in women's U21 age group to Germany, Poland and France and in men's U21 group to Great Britain, Germany and Russia.
