Which area can you take part in?
Depending on your offering and target group, you can join:
- Demo Park: if you have machines, installations or technology you want to demonstrate live

Demo Park
Let your technology run live
In the Demo Park, technology takes centre stage. Machines and installations are not only on display; where possible, they are actually running. Think of shredders, presses, sorting systems and other processing solutions.
As an exhibitor, this area gives you the opportunity to:
- Demonstrate your machines and installations live
- Show visitors directly what your solutions mean for capacity, safety and maintenance
- Have focused conversations with professionals who want to know: does this fit into my process, what will it deliver and what adjustments are needed?
Taking part in the Demo Park helps you generate serious leads more quickly, because visitors come here specifically to prepare concrete investment decisions.
Grondstoffenplein
Show the value of your material and chain solutions
At the Grondstoffenplein, set up in collaboration with BRBS Recycling, VERAS and Water Alliance, everything revolves around one key question: what happens to waste streams once they enter the chain, and how are these streams upgraded into usable raw materials?
As an exhibitor, this area is ideal if you:
- Offer solutions for recycling, upgrading, sorting or quality assurance of materials
- Provide chain solutions that turn waste streams into high‑quality raw materials or products
- Want to show organisations what level of quality is needed to make materials truly valuable
Here you give visitors insight into the impact of their choices in collection, separation, contracts and internal organisation on the eventual value creation. You help them make better agreements with processors and buyers and position yourself as a strategic chain partner.
Afvalcafé
The central hub for knowledge, networking and collaboration
The Afvalcafé by Afvalgids.nl is the central meeting point at Afvalmanagement & Recycling. Here, professionals from the waste and recycling sector come together to share knowledge, experiences and ideas in an accessible, informal setting.
For you as a regular participant, the Afvalcafé is an attractive place to:
- Make your expertise visible through conversations, interviews or short sessions
- Build new contacts with final decision‑makers, fellow providers and chain partners
- Explore collaborations and demonstrate thought leadership within specific themes
Digital Straat
Showcase your digital and data‑driven solutions
The Digital Straat is the themed area where digital solutions for waste management and recycling take centre stage. Think software, platforms, sensor technology, IoT solutions, data analytics, monitoring, reporting and control tools.
This area is particularly suitable if you:
- Offer software or digital platforms for planning, registration, monitoring, optimisation or reporting
- Develop data and IoT solutions for, for example, fill‑level measurement, route optimisation, asset management or compliance
- Want to show organisations how digitalisation and data help make processes more efficient, transparent and easier to manage
Visitors come here specifically for smart tools and digital building blocks for their future waste and recycling strategy. By taking part in the Digital Street, you position yourself as an innovative technology partner.
Start-up Straat
Position yourself as an innovatice challenger
The Start‑up Straat is the place where young, innovative companies present themselves to the market. Here, visitors find new concepts, fresh technology and business models that challenge existing ways of working in waste management and recycling.
This area is interesting if you:
- Are a start‑up or scale‑up with an innovative solution for waste or resources management
- Are looking for launching customers, partners, investors or pilot locations
- Want to stand out as a challenger and innovation accelerator in the chain
Taking part in the Start‑up Straat helps you quickly build visibility, gather feedback from the market and start collaborations with established players in the sector.
