What is the Reuse Economy Expo?

The Reuse Economy Expo is the leading international trade fair for all stakeholders involved in the reuse economy. Each year, it brings together professionals from across Europe around a common goal: to make reuse a viable, replicable, and sustainable economic driver.

Born of the Bulk and Reuse FairThis event has progressively expanded its scope to include all forms of industrial circularity: reuse, repair, refurbishment, repurposing, and remanufacturing. In 2025, the edition held at the Parc Floral de Paris marked a turning point, bringing together more than 2,000 professionals under the Reuse Economy Expo banner.

The 2026 edition confirms and amplifies this trajectory. It will be held at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, one of the largest professional venues in France. This change of venue reflects the growing importance of the event and the increasing urgency of... issues of reuse and the need to structure a real circular economy Europe-wide

The Bulk Goods Fair was born out of a very concrete need: to support the development of bulk food and reusable container solutions, in a context where regulations (AGEC lawEuropean directives, Extended Producer Responsibility, etc.) are evolving rapidly.

What’s new at the 2025 Bulk Show?

The 8th edition of the Reuse Fair, now called the Reuse Economy Expo, will be held on 19 and 20 May 2026 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. This year, the theme for the 2026 edition is: "How can we accelerate reuse in all sectors?"

The challenge is no longer to demonstrate the value of reuse, but to remove the concrete obstacles hindering its large-scale implementation. Resource scarcity, rising energy costs, new regulations, and growing consumer expectations: all sectors face the same challenges. The 2026 edition offers concrete solutions.

In parallel, the organization of the trade fair was redesigned around six exhibition sectors, each bringing together technical, industrial, institutional and operational stakeholders:

Electrical Equipment and Batteries
packaging
Furniture and Objects
Textiles
Construction and Building
Consulting and support

The Packaging section is particularly strategic for players in the agri-food, logistics and mass distribution sectors, who must anticipate the obligations of PPWR regulations from 2026. It is in this space thatETERNITY Systems will have its stand.

The 2026 edition introduces a Village entirely dedicated to the Digital Product Passport (DPP), the digital product passport. This traceability tool, which is being progressively made mandatory by European regulations, is a fundamental lever for reuse. It allows for the documentation of a package's life cycle, guarantees its regulatory compliance, and optimizes the logistical flows of collection and washing.
