Ingredients and Raw Materials
Natexpo is a trade show that covers the entire value chain, from upstream to distribution. It thus makes it possible to support processors and manufacturers of finished products in their R&D strategy thanks to its offer of organic ingredients and raw materials.
Natexpo offers its visitors the opportunity to meet the professionals involved in the manufacture of organic food products, cosmetics and food supplements, in order to move forward on two major issues: innovation and supply.

Services and Equipment for Retail and Brands
A great number of initiatives are emerging across Europe in organic product retail: online selling, m-commerce, loose goods, automatic vending, farm shops, packaging-free shops, snacks, etc.
Stores are also adapting their interiors to these changes in consumption patterns whilst maintaining their own DNA, thus developing a quite singular model insofar as being a place to spend quality time, an advice centre and a connected platform. At the same time, brands are also looking for responsible and innovative suppliers to support them with packaging issues, process digitization, logistics, etc.
These developments are the first signs of a distribution model which is still trying to find its way between “traditional” organic and “mass market” organic.

Eco-friendly home products
The new sector dedicated to sustainable development, circular economy and zero waste.
Environmental and health protection are the leading reasons for consuming organic products. Natural resources are not infinite, and consumers are increasingly aware of this: their purchasing behaviour obliges producers, manufacturers and distributors to set up positive and low-impact systems.
End of plastic, welcome to recycled, recyclable, upcycled natural materials: companies are innovating to offer more responsible consumption.
