The 2026 edition of REuse Economy Expo was held for the first time at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles on May 19 and 20, bringing together 3,741 participants.
The event showcased nearly 500 solutions across six major exhibition sectors : Packaging, Electrical Equipment and Batteries, Textiles, Furniture and Objects, Construction and Building, and Consulting and Support Services. It also featured 88 sessions led by 220 speakers.
This edition also confirmed the event’s growing international reach, with 44 countries represented, an expanded English-language program, speakers from numerous European and international markets, and a stronger presence of international exhibitors and delegations. This momentum reinforces REuse Economy Expo’s position as a European meeting point for reuse stakeholders.
Held under the High Patronage of the President of the French Republic, this edition was also inaugurated by his visit. Emmanuel Macron chose REuse Economy Expo as the venue to hold an Ecological Planning Council, attended by Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and 10 members of the French Government.
The central theme of this edition, “How can we accelerate reuse across all sectors ?”, highlighted the need for a cross-sector approach as a prerequisite for industrializing reuse and scaling it up.
Here, we REinvent the economy.
