Industry News

FRANKFURT, GERMANY – The powerhouse coalition of E-Waste World Expo, Battery Recycling Expo, Metal Recycling Expo, and ITAD & Circular Electronics Expo - collectively known as EBMI2026 - has entered its final furlong. Returning to Messe Frankfurt on 17–18 June 2026, this industry-led event is the world’s most comprehensive B2B platform for the recycling and circular economy sectors.

In a major move to drive radical industry collaboration, registration for the 2026 edition is completely free of charge. A single complimentary pass grants unrestricted access to both the expanded exhibition floor and the world-class, 180+ speaker conference programme.

Scale, Innovation & Digital Integration

Moving to Halle 3.0 to accommodate unprecedented demand, the 2026 expo features over 400+ exhibitors and is expected to attract more than 4,500+ international industry professionals. Attendees will connect with global OEMs, recyclers, asset managers, and circular economy strategists to tackle supply chain security and resource recovery.

To streamline the attendee experience, organisers have launched the official EBMI2026 Event App, now available on desktop, iOS, and Google Play. The app allows users to pre-schedule B2B meetings, navigate the expanded floor plan, and build custom schedules across the four specialised technical tracks: E-Waste & WEEE Recycling, Battery Recycling, Metal & Critical Raw Material Recycling, and ITAD & Circular Electronics.

Complimentary Networking & Global Travel Partners

After the show floor closes on Day 1, attendees are invited to the official Day 1 Networking Drinks on Wednesday 17 June from 17:00 at the T1 Battery Stage. The complimentary event features live music from Rumbacoustic, entertainment by Magician Alex, and complimentary drinks and pretzels.
