Sustainability Solutions is the central area in hall A2, dedicated to promoting sustainability in the sporting goods industry.
This is where brands, experts and decision-makers come together to work on innovative solutions for a sustainable future. The area offers a unique platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas and presents sustainable products and services. The GORE-TEX Brand Barista Bar provides you with coffee all day long as well as insights into durability strategies.
Formats such as conferences, workshops and exhibitions not only raise awareness of sustainability, but also present concrete measures and forward-looking approaches. ISPO Sustainability Solutions is the place where visions for a greener sports industry become reality.
We want to bring together all the players - sports brands, manufacturers, technology providers, material suppliers, scientists and consultants - and create an open space to work together on real solutions. ISPO is designed to be the platform where you can explore new opportunities, make valuable contacts and develop your business in a meaningful way.
The exhibition of posters and booths in Sustainability Solutions will offer orientation and is geared towards the needs of the industry. Material suppliers, institutes, NGOs, brands and retailers share their projects, strategies and concrete solutions for complex sustainability issues.
Join the daily guided tour at 11 am or 2 pm to get a compact overview of the Sustainability Solutions and meet the exhibitors in person. No registration required, just come by 15 minutes before the tour and grab your headphones at the info point.
Innovative materials are developed at a very high pace and applied in pioneering circular product lines.

Discover bio-based polymers and recycled fibers, biodegradable textiles and innovative natural materials, such as mycelium or algae. The entire life cycle of a material - from raw materials to intermediate products to the end product - will be clearly presented.
One special section showcases bacteria-based biomaterial. You will learn how bacteria are being harnessed to create natural textile dyes, leather alternatives and more next-gen materials.
