Sustainable Collection

Make a statement for sustainability

Let your responsible toys be instantly recognisable! With the Sustainable Collection, you can put your sustainable products in the spotlight: directly at your own stand, on Spielwarenmesse Digital, and in the official communications of the fair. Benefit from maximum visibility, target trade visitors with an interest in responsible innovation, and position your company as a pioneer in a sustainable industry.

Your benefits as an exhibitor

  • Marking at your own stand:
    Spielwarenmesse provides you with a special sign, allowing you to clearly and visibly highlight your sustainable products at your own stand as part of the Sustainable Collection.
  • Digital visibility:
    All Sustainable Collection products are presented in a dedicated, clearly structured section on Spielwarenmesse Digital. This enables visitors to find sustainable products quickly and easily.
  • Special highlighting in the New Product Gallery:
    If you book a paid placement in the New Product Gallery in Hall 3A, your product – provided it is part of the Sustainable Collection – will also receive a special label as a sustainable highlight. (Please note that it must be the same product that has been selected for the Sustainable Collection – no variants or different versions.)
Important note

The Sustainable Collection marking is intended solely as guidance for trade visitors and the press during the course of the fair. It is not a label or certification mark for end consumer communication and must not be used as such outside of Spielwarenmesse.
