Powering a Circular Future: WEEE & Electronic Waste at The Recycling Expo 2025
)
Electronic waste — also known as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) — is the UK’s fastest-growing waste stream, with over 1.6 million tonnes generated annually. As our homes and businesses become increasingly digital, the pressure is mounting to recover critical raw materials, improve take-back schemes, and build circular systems for electronics.
At The Recycling Expo 2025 (October 7th-8th at ExCeL London), electronic recycling takes centre stage — with expert speakers, pioneering tech, and practical solutions for creating sustainable electronics supply chains.
Why WEEE Is in the Spotlight in 2025Increased regulation and consumer demand are driving real change in how electronic products are designed, used, and disposed of. With updates to UK WEEE compliance schemes on the way and growing urgency to reduce dependence on virgin materials, it’s time to innovate — and collaborate.
The Recycling Expo will bring together recyclers, manufacturers, ITAD providers, local authorities, and tech firms to explore the entire electronic waste lifecycle — from eco-design and product stewardship to advanced sorting and urban mining.
What to Expect at The Recycling Expo 2025:🔌 Live tech showcases of AI-powered WEEE sorting, disassembly robots, and closed-loop recycling systems
♻️ Circular electronics roundtables – explore design for recycling, lifecycle extension, and e-waste traceability
🖥️ IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) sessions – best practices for data security and sustainable hardware recovery
📦 Collection & take-back strategies – practical approaches for councils and retailers under new compliance rules
