ITAD Lounge

The ITAD Lounge, hosted as part of Recycling Expo, is a dedicated networking space designed for senior professionals working across ITAD, e-waste management and circular IT strategies. Created to support focused, high-value conversations, the lounge brings together CIOs, IT asset managers, sustainability and ESG leaders, recyclers, ITAD providers and policy stakeholders involved in managing data-bearing assets, digital infrastructure and end-of-life electronics.

The ITAD Lounge provides an environment to explore how circular IT and electronics lifecycle strategies can:

• Reduce operational and data security risk

• Recover value from redundant IT assets

• Improve governance, auditability and compliance

• Strengthen material sovereignty and critical resource resilience

Attendees will be able to connect with peers and solution providers specialising in IT lifecycle management, secure data destruction, refurbishment, reuse, resale and electronics recycling, alongside organisations addressing WEEE compliance, ESG reporting and extended producer responsibility.

The lounge will be supported by the official Recycling Expo event app, allowing attendees to:

• Book 1:1 meetings in advance

• Arrange on-site discussions with exhibitors and speakers

• Build a personalised agenda focused on ITAD and e-waste priorities

Designed for meaningful engagement rather than pass-through traffic, the ITAD Lounge is a key feature for organisations navigating the increasing commercial, regulatory and security pressures surrounding IT asset disposition and e-waste in the UK.
