November 30 - December 3
The World Reuse & Recycling Forum (WRF Asia 2026) is an international conference and exhibition focused on recycling, reuse, resource recovery and circular economy solutions across the battery, automotive and electronics industries. The event brings together manufacturers, recyclers, technology providers, materials specialists, policymakers, researchers and industry professionals to discuss emerging technologies, regulatory developments and commercial opportunities across the recycling value chain.
Key topics include lithium-ion battery recycling, electric vehicle battery recovery, electronic waste management, automotive reuse and remanufacturing, critical raw material recovery, plastics recycling, IT asset disposition (ITAD) and extended producer responsibility. Discussions also address regulatory compliance, cross-border material flows, supply chain resilience, digitalisation and strategies for improving resource efficiency and reducing environmental impacts.
The programme combines expert presentations, industry discussions, an exhibition and networking opportunities. Participants can exchange technical knowledge, explore innovative recycling technologies and develop partnerships with stakeholders from across the global circular economy sector. The event also offers opportunities to visit industrial facilities and gain practical insights into recycling and resource recovery operations.
Held in Shanghai, China, WRF Asia 2026 provides a platform for international and regional stakeholders to strengthen collaboration, advance recycling capabilities and support the transition toward more sustainable production and consumption systems.
