Every stand, sign and shared space involves choices about materials. For MIPIM 2027, we are working with exhibitors and suppliers to reduce what we use and plan what happens to it after the event.
Waste minimisation
Less waste. More materials put to use.
What changed at MIPIM 2026?
MIPIM reduced its waste volume by 11%.
We also helped materials find another use:
940 kg of velvet and cotton donated for reuse in insulation bricks.
8 tonnes of wood from the Premium Lounge and Destination France donated for reuse.
Exhibitors contributed a further 140 kg of food and items through the Donation Room. Surplus food from MIPIM cocktails provided the equivalent of 400 meals for local associations.
How are we approaching waste in 2027?
Design with reuse in mind
We use furniture across RX events and reduce carpeting wherever the flooring allows. Reuse starts with the choices we make before the event.
Make sorting part of the setup
We work with exhibitors and stand contractors to plan waste sorting, including dedicated collection points for wood and cardboard.
Reduce disposable materials
Our badges and cardboard holders are plastic-free. We encourage exhibitors to limit single-use items and choose materials they can use again.
How can you contribute?
If you are an exhibitor, talk to your stand contractor about:
Reusing furniture, fittings and stand materials.
Limiting printed materials and giveaways.
Sorting waste during setup and dismantling.
Planning the collection or reuse of items you will leave behind.
