ORGATEC 2026 is sending a strong message about its commitment to sustainability.

Make your trade fair presence sustainable: by reusing stand construction materials, you are sending a clear signal of your responsibility towards the environment and society.

Donate materials*

Reduce waste, save on disposal costs and show your clear commitment to sustainability. In partnership with TRASH GALORE, ORGATEC gives all exhibitors the opportunity to donate leftover stand construction materials – like wood, banners and carpets – to social, charitable or creative projects.

The benefits for you:

Play an active role in preventing waste and conserving resources
Savings on disposal/transport costs
Support of social and circular initiatives
Complete handling (also with removal, if requested)

Please note: the service provided by TRASH GALORE is not free of charge. TRASH GALORE will make available a calculation aid for a first orientation concerning possible costs here. Further information can be found in the information brochure, and you can also submit a direct inquiry:

TRASH GALORE - Impressions

Successful cooperation of Koelnmesse with TRASH GALORE and Tafel Köln e.V. already took place at interzum 2025 – joint engagement that showed how trade fair activities and social responsibility can be sensibly combined.

*Please note:

All communication and coordination regarding the collection of materials and food is to be handled directly between the exhibitors and TRASH GALORE. ORGATEC only provides the platform for publicising these sustainable initiative – it is not involved in the operational implementation.

“Rescuing” food

You can also donate any surplus food at the end of each day of the trade fair.
