RWM in partnership with CIWM is the European event for resource efficiency and waste management.

Over 14,000 visitors, more than 650 exhibitors and 100-plus expert speakers meet to explore the latest industry developments that affect everyone from local authorities and landfills to retailers and recycling consultants.

Visitors also benefit from the largest collection of FREE and CPD accredited content, see What’s On for more information.


In December 2010, answering calls from the industry, the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM) and the Environmental Services Association (ESA), the organisers of Futuresource, and Emap, the organisers of RWM, joined forces to give the international recycling and waste management market this one major new exhibition.

This year’s event brings visitors two brand new features. The Materials Village and Social Enterprise Zone will see all the key materials associations and social enterprises brought together under one roof for the first time.

The RWM Conference runs from Tuesday 11 to Thursday 13 September 2012. Its location is at the NEC, Birmingham, UK - Halls 6, 17, 18, 19, 20 and the Outdoor Area. The show is one of the largest in this sector and has a visitor footfall in the region of 14,500 people, with over 650 Exhibitors.
