Sustainability and Innovation

As IDEX Istanbul, we serve as the key platform that strengthens the global competitiveness of Türkiye’s rapidly growing dental sector.

The future of our industry is shaped not only by high-quality production and digital transformation, but also by the adoption of sustainable practices.

IDEX Istanbul showcases the sector’s ability to meet evolving global standards and rising ethical expectations, presenting Türkiye’s pioneering and sustainable vision in the dental field to the world market.

As IDEX Istanbul, we combine our leading role in the dental industry with an environmentally and socially responsible exhibition approach. Our key sustainability steps include:

• Waste Management and Recycling: We provide segregated waste collection points throughout the exhibition area. A significant portion of the packaging, paper, plastic, and metal waste generated during stand setup and dismantling is directed to recycling.

• Promotion of Digital Materials: We minimize the use of printed materials (catalogs, brochures, invitations) and instead encourage information sharing through QR codes, digital catalogs, and mobile applications. This not only reduces paper waste but also modernizes the visitor experience.

• Energy Efficiency: Throughout the exhibition, we prioritize low-energy LED lighting systems and ensure energy-saving measures in common areas.

• Local Procurement and Economic Contribution: By working primarily with local and responsible suppliers for food & beverage, logistics, and other services, we support the regional economy.

• Accessibility: We ensure that the exhibition area is fully accessible for visitors and exhibitors with disabilities, creating an inclusive environment.

• Ethical Participation: We raise awareness among our exhibitors and suppliers about fair working conditions and ethical business practices.

With these steps, we aim not only to be a commercial platform, but also to lead the dental industry toward a greener and more responsible future.
