Returning to Messe Frankfurt on 17-18 June, this industry-led event remains the most-recognised B2B platform for the global recycling and circular economy sectors. For the 2026 edition, the event is expanding its reach, offering attendees a streamlined, high-impact experience designed to tackle the most pressing challenges in supply chain security and resource recovery.

One Pass, Four Shows: A Comprehensive Industry Hub

In a major move to increase value for participants, one single access pass now provides entry to all four specialised shows. This year’s event is completely free to attend, granting visitors full access to both the expansive exhibition floor and a world-class conference featuring four unique tracks - one dedicated to each show.

2026 Event Highlights:

• 400+ Innovations: Interact with the latest technologies in e-waste processing, battery reuse, critical raw material recovery, and secure IT asset disposition.
• 180+ Expert Speakers: Gain insights from global trailblazers across four dedicated conference stages.
• 4,500+ Industry Professionals: Connect with a strictly B2B audience of international decision-makers, CEOs, and technical experts.
• Supply Chain Security: A core focus for 2026, helping businesses navigate the geopolitical and environmental complexities of raw material sourcing.

Strategic Insight in a Central EU Hub

Located in the heart of Europe, Messe Frankfurt provides the ideal backdrop for this professional-only gathering. The 2026 event focuses on moving beyond theory into actionable, industry-led solutions that drive both profitability and sustainability.

Amanda Tring, Head of Marketing at Trans-World Events, commented:

“Following our record-breaking 2025 edition, we are raising the bar for 2026. By making the entire conference and expo free to attend, we are ensuring that the brightest minds in the industry - from start-ups to global multinationals - can converge in Frankfurt without barriers. We’re not just looking at recycling; we’re looking at the entire supply chain and its security regarding critical raw materials.”

A Platform for Professional Growth

The exhibition floor will serve as a dynamic hub for action, sparking collaborations between recyclers, manufacturers, and ITAD specialists. With over 4,500 international attendees expected, the 2026 edition is set to be the most influential networking event in the circular economy calendar.

Visitors are encouraged to secure their free passes early to join the conversations that will shape the next decade of resource management.
