Recycling Aktiv will take place from 27 to 29 April at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre in Germany.

Because of Covid postponements, it is the second edition of the show in 12 months, but this has done nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of organiser Messe Karlsruhe.

“Twelve weeks before the start of the trade fair, the 90,000 sq m (968,000 sq ft) of outdoor exhibition space is fully booked. The three compact days of the event will be full of tailored solutions for businesses from the construction, demolition and recycling industries”, said RATL project manager Olivia Hogenmüller.

This will be the fourth time that the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre will host the event. Home to Germany’s fifth-largest outdoor exhibition area, it offers the perfect conditions for the exciting live demonstrations that are the hallmark of the unique trade fair duo.

Around 230 exhibitors are expected, including the likes of Zeppelin, Kinshofer, Sany, Kiesel and Doppstadt. These will present their construction machinery, equipment and recycling systems in realistic processes, either at their stands or on one of the five demonstration building sites and special theme areas.

The live demonstration shows are organised by topic. They allow visitors to compare various products directly and provide inspiration on how to boost efficiency in their own businesses.

The organiser added that visitors can look forward to a total of 15 topic-based shows featuring machinery and systems from the world of recycling. These will process a variety of materials from wood and biomass to scrap and metal.
