Towards a

Sustainable day

ESEF Maakindustrie 2026 and Jaarbeurs are striving for a sustainable future. This is how we make more impact together. Here are 5 handy tips for a sustainable day out at ESEF Maakindustrie.

5 useful tips

1-1

Jaarbeurs is located next to Utrecht Central Station and is perfectly accessible by train, tram and bus. Do you still come by car? Then travel together as much as possible. In the event app you will find information about the available parking spaces at Jaarbeurs.

DownloadTheApp-1

Your ticket can be found in the event app. Download the app and show the QR code on your ticket at the entrance. Use the app to navigate around the event and find exhibitors, speakers and activities. A programme booklet is thus a thing of the past. Together, we save many thousands of tonnes of paper every year.
Waste

Inside all Jaarbeurs buildings you will find separate waste bins. Materials such as paper and plastic are thus largely reused. This saves new raw materials, energy and money.
DrinksFood

Discover vegetarian, local and seasonal dishes at Moments venues and restaurants. Thirsty? Use your own water bottle. This way, together we use tons less plastic and you always have something to drink at hand.
Maxima Centre

Plastic bottle or can left over? Recycle it in the designated bin and donate the deposit to the Princess Máxima Centre for Paediatric Oncology. This way, you contribute to the environment and to a good cause.

Jaarbeurs is a partner of the Princess Máxima Centre.

GoedIdee

Did you know that we also encourage our exhibitors to organise their fair as sustainably as possible? For example, they choose stand construction packages made of fully sustainable materials.

This is how we go green together!
