Together with our partner in waste disposal Bnext.nl, we deploy special mobile recycling stations during the set-up and take-down of trade fairs. After a pilot at BouwBeurs 2023, we started a roll-out for all exhibitions and events in September. The use of recycling points allows waste to be separated at source into five different waste streams: plastic, glass, organic waste, paper, construction and demolition waste. This enables better recycling of waste and reduces residual waste.
Exhibition participants with their own stand construction are themselves responsible for the disposal of their construction and demolition waste. With the recycling points, Jaarbeurs ensures that this waste is better recycled and there is less residual waste. Teams of environmental officers are present at the mobile waste collection points to help separate the waste in the right way. Jaarbeurs is the first exhibition organiser and facilitator in the Netherlands to put this into operation.
