Event overview

Where NSW’s waste & resource recovery industry does business

Waste & Resource Recovery Expo is NSW’s dedicated trade exhibition for the people who plan, fund, build and operate the state’s waste and resource recovery systems. Councils, government, operators, infrastructure owners and major industry buyers come to source the plant, machinery, technology and services they need for upcoming projects, contract renewals, FOGO rollouts and operational improvements.

Built specifically around the NSW market, the Expo combines a major trade floor, the Live Equipment & Technology Demonstrations and free, practical education focused on the issues shaping the industry, from collection and resource recovery to infrastructure, technology, safety and the transition to 2030.
