Waste Meetings 2026 in Lyon: recycling and circular economy

WASTE MEETINGS is an international business gathering organised by abe (advanced business events) that connects buyers and suppliers active in waste management, recycling and the circular economy. The event takes place at the Double Mixte venue in Lyon and combines pre-scheduled business meetings with technical conferences on material recovery, organic recovery and energy recovery. The format is built around high-value networking: each participant can hold up to 26 meetings across the two days, with short breaks in between. Buyers attend free of charge, while suppliers exhibit with fully equipped stands. The event runs alongside PCH Meetings and INTERMAINTENANCE, giving attendees the chance to expand their contacts into the chemical, pharmaceutical and industrial maintenance sectors. The venue, located in Villeurbanne, is well connected to central Lyon by tram, metro and bus. The 2026 edition will be the ninth and keeps the international focus that defines the event, with particular attention to identifying waste types and recovering them properly.
