A trade fair model oriented towards sustainability
According to the organizer, Tüyap is redefining the trade fair organization model with a clear focus on sustainability aspects. RePlast Eurasia is intended to exemplify this approach. The structure of the event incorporates the use of recyclable materials, measures aimed at energy efficiency, digitalization solutions and operational policies that reduce environmental impact. As a result, the fair is expected to serve not only as a commercial platform for business exchange, but also as a practical representation of a sustainable approach to organizing exhibition events.
Previous edition data and international relevance
The organizers report that the previous edition of RePlast Eurasia attracted 8,340 visitors from 56 countries and 151 exhibitors from 13 countries. In 2026, the goal is to further strengthen the participation of international exhibitors and visitors in Istanbul, reflecting the growing global relevance of the event. The presence of industry representatives from Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North Africa means that the fair goes beyond a regional format and is positioned as a broad international platform for plastics and fiber recycling.
Scope of the exhibition: recycling technologies and business development
RePlast Eurasia 2026 is intended to serve as a strategic reference point for companies operating in plastics and fiber recycling.

The organizers emphasize that the event is designed to enable the presentation of products and technologies to a precisely defined professional audience.
The role of the fair is not limited to initiating business contacts. Its importance for technological development and for building a culture of sustainable production based on the principles of the circular economy is also highlighted. For participants from the recycling sector, this means an opportunity to track the development directions of technologies and to verify available solutions in the context of regulatory requirements and environmental targets.

The organizers state that visitors will be able to familiarize themselves with the full range of processes related to plastics and fiber recycling within a single event. Industry professionals will have the opportunity to monitor current trends in recycling technologies, compare solutions offered by different manufacturers and select technologies best aligned with their sustainability objectives.
