Focus on Sustainable Resource Use
With its guiding theme “Rethinking Resources: Circular and Biobased Solutions,” interzum 2025 puts the future of furniture production in the spotlight. The trade fair builds on the concept of the circular economy, where materials are used longer through reuse, repair, and recycling. At the same time, biobased solutions come into focus as environmentally friendly alternatives to petroleum-based products. Both approaches aim to minimize the industry’s ecological footprint.
interzum’s event program will explore this topic in many ways: On the interzum Trend Stage and in the three interzum forums, ideas, studies, and market-ready solutions will be discussed. Additionally, interzum offers exhibitors a second presentation opportunity: Boulevard Nord will transform into the “Rethinking Resources Boulevard,” a showcase for sustainable innovations.
