Sustainability icon of NürnbergMesse: Orange leaf with slogan
For more than four decades, FACHPACK has been acknowledged as the No. 1 gathering for the European packaging industry and its customers. Under the banner “Transition in Packaging”, it addresses the current challenges relating to sustainability and sees itself as a trailblazer in the constantly changing packaging industry. It’s where exhibitors and visitors alike find inspiration and solutions for efficient packaging technology, alternative packaging materials, and environmentally compatible packaging solutions.
Our events are global platforms for sustainable innovation.

Topics

Not just legislators, but consumers too are calling for packaging to be more sustainable – at both national and European levels. As the leading European trade fair for packaging, FACHPACK provides answers to questions raised by the consumer and capital goods industry and retail sector about industry-specific and regulatory requirements. It also provides a platform for developing future-driven models for the circular economy, digitalisation and e-commerce.

Sustainabbility goal of NürnbergMesse: CO2 neutral energy supply until 2028

Sustainability at NürnbergMesse

As our organizer, NürnbergMesse goes the extra mile in terms of sustainability: Decisions are consciously made for the good of the planet and society, based on the 17 sustainability goals of the United Nations. For example, 100 percent green electricity is used on the exhibition grounds - reduced to the bare minimum. Since 2015, 3.7 million kWh of electricity have already been saved. The major goal: a climate-neutral energy supply by 2028. NürnbergMesse has been documenting these and other successes in an annual sustainability report since 2021.
