Pressure to adopt circular and bio-based materials is reshaping specifications in construction and infrastructure. Kunststoffenbeurs 2026 offers two days at Brabanthallen to inspect processing technology and sector-focused solutions.
The event is organized around four sector plazas. MedTech, High-Tech, Consumer & Lifestyle and Construction & Infrastructure act as interactive zones with live demos, workshops and roundtables. For construction buyers and specifiers the Construction & Infrastructure plaza concentrates on reuse, material quality and chain collaboration.
H2 Practical information and venue
Kunststoffenbeurs runs on 16 and 17 September 2026 at Brabanthallen, ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Opening hours are listed as 10:00 to 17:00. The official site provides the floor plan and exhibitor list to schedule visits and on-site meetings. Registration is promoted as free on the event pages.
H2 Equip-Plast Machineplein and participating machine builders
A headline addition this year is the Equip-Plast Machineplein where 16 machine builders come together to demonstrate plastic processing and production technology live. Manufacturers named in the programme include ARBURG, KraussMaffei Benelux, ENGEL Benelux, WITTMANN Group and Sepro Group. Seeing machines run back to back makes technical comparisons and procurement conversations more efficient.
H2 Sessions with application to construction materials
The Construction & Infrastructure plaza features an interactive session by the Province of Noord-Brabant that presents findings from a regional exploration into circular plastics for construction. The format emphasises a roundtable approach to identify practical steps for high-quality reuse and upscaling across supply chains.
H2 Actionable prospecting steps for exhibitors and buyers
- Map exhibitors linked to the Machineplein and book demos to evaluate cycle times and material handling.
- Focus on the Construction & Infrastructure plaza to meet specifiers and contracting organisations involved in pilot projects.
- Prepare technical datasheets and sample sets ready to hand over after a demo to accelerate trial approvals.
- Attend roundtables with public partners to connect with potential programme funders and regional pilots.
H2 Speakers and technical takeaways
Speakers listed in the programme include Bineke Posthumus from Avantium discussing plant-based polymers for packaging and consumer use, and Jan van Poppel from PlastOptima on practical steps to translate environmental regulation into design and supply chain changes. Presentations on bio-based alternatives and microplastics reduction in consumer products appear on the Consumer & Lifestyle plaza and may be relevant where construction components require improved environmental profiles.
H2 Final note and how to check the programme
For construction material managers and procurement teams the fair is an opportunity to verify processing compatibility and to meet machine vendors in one location. Review the floor plan, exhibitor list and session timetable on the official Kunststoffenbeurs 2026 site at https://kunststoffenbeurs.nl and plan visits to the Construction & Infrastructure plaza and the Machineplein to make the most of your time at Brabanthallen.
