Making recycling easier for everyone, across borders, retail formats, and evolving DRS markets.

Nearly six decades after its debut, EuroShop once again confirmed its position as the world’s leading retail investment event.

The 23rd edition in Düsseldorf welcomed over 81,000 visitors from 141 countries and 1,840 exhibitors from 61 nations. With two thirds of attendees coming from abroad, the “Global Retail Festival” lived up to its name.

Retailers arrived ready to invest — with AI, automation, energy efficiency and connected technologies shaping the conversations. Modern retail is becoming smarter, more strategic and technology-driven.

And within this global momentum, Envipco was proud to be at the centre of discussions about the future of recycling.

A Stand That Reflected Our Growth 

EuroShop 2026 marked a spectacular presence for Envipco.

Our stand attracted significant attention throughout the five-day event. From the very first morning, we welcomed a steady flow of visitors — retailers, DRS operators, municipalities, partners and new market entrants — all eager to discuss the evolving deposit return landscape.

What stood out most was the quality of conversations. We met visitors not only from across Europe, but also from North and South America, Australia and the Middle East. The interest in Deposit Return Systems continues to expand globally — and so does the demand for reliable, scalable recycling solutions.

Throughout the week, we showcased our full portfolio and demonstrated how we can support different retail formats, store sizes and national DRS requirements.

Our message was clear:

We are one partner — with multiple possibilities.

Launching MAGNA: Built for All Conditions 

A key highlight of our presence was the launch of MAGNA, our new indoor and outdoor solution designed to perform in demanding environments.

Engineered to operate in temperatures ranging from –20°C to +40°C, MAGNA expands the flexibility of reverse vending deployment across diverse climates and retail settings.

With MAGNA, we continue to demonstrate what has always defined Envipco:

  • Practical innovation
  • Adaptability to local market needs
  • Solutions designed with real operational conditions in mind

As retail environments evolve and DRS schemes roll out across new regions, flexibility is no longer optional — it is essential.

Making Recycling Easier — Globally 

EuroShop highlighted retail’s willingness to change. AI, automation and digitalisation are reshaping store operations and customer journeys. At the same time, sustainability remains a central investment driver.

At Envipco, these priorities converge.

We shared how our solutions:

  • Improve operational efficiency
  • Support compliance with environmental legislation
  • Create seamless recycling experiences for consumers
  • Help retailers turn sustainability into measurable impact

Circular systems only work if they are actually used. That is why we focus on making recycling easy — accessible, intuitive and reliable.

 Envipco Quantum S 

Designed to deliver the same high-speed, bulk-feed recycling experience as the larger Quantum models, Quantum S does it in a smaller footprint that fits within just two parking spaces. Visitors were particularly drawn to the solar-powered configuration, which highlights how high-capacity recycling infrastructure can also be energy-efficient. With the same advanced compaction technology and processing speed that the Quantum platform is known for, Quantum S proves that powerful performance doesn’t require a large footprint.

As João Prado, Product Manager at Envipco, explains: “Quantum S brings the same speed, capacity and reliability as our larger systems, but in a  smaller format. The machine comes with a smaller footprint at 15,1m² which fits in two car parking spots compared to the standard outdoor model at 21,6m² which fits in three parking spot. Combined with solar panels, it’s built to perform reliably in all weather conditions.”

Beyond the numbers, EuroShop 2026 was about momentum.

We strengthened existing partnerships.
We built new connections.
We explored new markets.
We saw clear signs of accelerating DRS interest across continents.

The event confirmed what we already feel internally:
Envipco is growing. We are improving. And we are ready for the next phase of international expansion.
