Food is part of our everyday lives, but have we ever stopped to consider what it takes for a meal to reach our plates? And once we have finished eating, where do the leftovers and waste go?
Sustainability Expo 2026 (SX2026) invites visitors to look beyond the taste of food and discover its connection to sustainability through the SX Food Festival. The initiative aims to raise awareness of how food production and consumption affect the planet, while highlighting how everyone can contribute to positive change through everyday choices.
A More Sustainable World Starts with What We Eat
Eating is essential to human survival, yet the way we produce and consume food can also put pressure on the planet. Making more responsible food choices is therefore an important part of slowing environmental degradation.
Every meal is connected to a wider chain of resources and people, from nature and the environment to farmers and food producers, as well as the waste generated after consumption. Even seemingly small everyday habits can play a role in creating meaningful change.
As Asean's largest sustainability exhibition, SX2026 offers visitors fresh perspectives on the relationship between food and sustainability through food markets, Food Fest activities, expert discussions and exhibitions by organisations actively working to drive change.
The event encourages everyone to explore a fundamental question: how can we eat in ways that benefit not only ourselves, but also society and the planet?
Enjoy Food Responsibly at SX Food Festival
Visitors can begin their journey into food sustainability through one of life's most familiar experiences: eating.
Located on the LG floor, the SX Food Festival brings together a diverse selection of food outlets, while highlighting the importance of responsible ingredient sourcing, environmentally conscious food preparation and food waste reduction.
However, the sustainability experience does not end when the meal is over. Visitors can also learn about and practise proper waste separation at designated collection points throughout the zone.Different types of dining waste, including plates, bowls, spoons, forks, chopsticks, drinking glasses and other utensils, can be sorted and disposed of at the designated waste-sorting stations.
The festival also showcases two food waste management solutions: Oklin and Chuchok. Through these food waste processing machines, visitors can discover practical approaches to managing food scraps at source and explore how food waste can be put to further use rather than simply being discarded.
Simple actions, such as separating waste after a meal, can become the starting point for changing everyday habits. Sustainability is not just about choosing what we eat, but also about the decisions we make before, during and after every meal.
SX2026 invites everyone to explore these stories and discover how significant change can begin with something as simple and familiar as the food on our plates.
Join Sustainability Expo 2026 (SX2026), Asean's largest sustainability exhibition, from November 6-15, 2026, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center.
