Awards for Excellence in Recycling and Waste Management 2026

Date: 13 May 2026

We’re excited to be attending the 2026 Awards for Excellence in Recycling and Waste Management. This leading industry event celebrates innovation, dedication, and progress across the UK’s environmental and resource management sectors — and we’re proud to once again sponsor the Health and Safety Award.

The Awards for Excellence provide a platform to recognise and showcase the remarkable achievements driving improvements in recycling, reuse, and waste reduction.

Following a record-breaking event in 2025, which brought together more than 500 professionals from across the industry, the 2026 ceremony is set to be even more inspiring. It offers a unique opportunity to celebrate exceptional work, share ideas, and connect with the people shaping the future of sustainable waste management.
