Labelexpo Europe 2025, taking place at Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, Spain, September 16-19, is placing sustainability at the very heart of this year’s iteration.
The show has already expanded 15 percent compared to the 2023 edition and is set to welcome more than 650 exhibitors.
In addition to global consumer concerns about the environment, the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is fundamentally influencing the sector, challenging converters, brand owners, and designers to rethink materials, processes and compliance strategies.
The Pulse Arena, located at Hall 7 – Stand 7B27, will spotlight on the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation), and address how label converters can benefit from diversifying into flexible packaging and folding cartons and look into the future of AI and automation. Each topic is addressed with keynote speakers and daily presentations in a hub designed for learning, engaging and connecting.
Labelexpo Europe 2025 already follows comprehensive sustainability guidelines set in place by its parent Informa Group PLC, which are applied to its event operations globally. These guidelines focus on reducing event waste, reusing events’ stand materials with the Better Stands programme, and utilizing renewable energy where possible.
This year, the show announces an exclusive partnership with DMP Europe to divert printed materials away from landfill. Based in Cluj, Romania, DMP recycles label matrix waste, a challenging material to process. The material will be collected from the show and reprocessed into a range of re-usable items such as industrial bumpers and pallets. The partnership is supported by CELAB and FINAT.
