Bigger Focus on Sustainable Products at Metstrade 2025

Metstrade 2025 takes place from 18 to 20 November at RAI Amsterdam. The show may be the largest ever. Nearly 1,700 exhibitors join. Many products set records this year. Sustainability leads the event. Innovations in all 13 halls show eco-friendly ideas. The leisure marine market now commits to green solutions.

Sustainability at the Heart of Innovation

The show features many marine products. It covers boat building, propulsion systems, electronics, decking, rigging, coatings, paints, maintenance tools, life-saving gear, fuel systems, filtration, and marina infrastructure. Each product joins modern design with a green basis.

The program works to cut the marine sector’s impact. Foiling technology is a key example. It began in racing boats. Today it improves fuel use and cuts emissions in leisure boats. This tech will also show at the Superyacht Stage to explore its use in superyachts.

Next Gen Zone: Showcasing Future-Focused Solutions

In Hall 13, the Next Gen Zone shines. Many companies offer green solutions that act now:

• Sustainable Innovation Hub: Co-hosted by World Sailing and The Sustainability Toolbox, this hub supports reuse, repurposing, and recycling. Visitors see case studies, take part in the ‘Product Circularity’ survey, and get free green resources.

• Royal 3D: This firm shows new 3D printing ideas. They use recycled thermoplastics and repurposed wood. Royal 3D created the DAME Design Awards trophy. Their work shows a careful use of materials and a maritime style.

• Next Generation Propulsion Showcase: In partnership with IEMA, this display covers electric, hybrid, and alternative fuel systems. The goal is zero emissions. Panel discussions on data, noise, and vibration show how all factors matter for green marine propulsion.

Superyacht Sustainability Route

Now in its fourth year, the Superyacht Sustainability Route shows more green ideas. In collaboration with the Water Revolution Foundation, the route highlights superyacht innovations that take third-party Life Cycle Assessments. It shows options that work well, cut harm, and boost social care in every superyacht phase.

Marine Impact Lab: Driving Industry-Wide Change

On 17 November, the Marine Impact Lab holds a workshop. The lab gives focused training and strategic green insights. Leaders like ICOMIA, World Sailing, and 11th Hour Racing support this lab. Experts from BAR Technologies, Northern Lights Composites, Kairos, and Holy Technologies speak. They focus on circular materials, green design, and joint innovation.

Metstrade’s Commitment Beyond Exhibits

Metstrade 2025 also drives other green practices. The show works to cut single-use plastics, reduce food waste, and design greener stands. It even introduces the ‘Metstrain’—a dedicated Eurostar carriage. This train runs from London to Amsterdam and offers cleaner, comfortable travel for event participants.

Conclusion

Metstrade 2025 shows the marine leisure industry’s green heart. Large exhibits, clear programs, and strong partnerships drive real environmental gains. The event also supports business growth. It is a key meeting point for professionals and enthusiasts who want to learn and help push the sector toward a greener future.
