The Waste Authority Lounge will return to Recycling Expo 2026 as a dedicated, high-value space created exclusively for Local Authorities, Waste Authorities, and public-sector leaders from across the UK. Recognising the challenge of securing time away from the front line, the Lounge is designed to offer clear professional value, targeted learning, and practical outcomes that support day-to-day decision-making.
Throughout the two days, the Lounge will welcome teams working across collections, disposal, recycling infrastructure, procurement, policy, and community engagement — providing a central hub to exchange insight, compare approaches, and discuss shared challenges in a focused, supportive environment.
This year’s lounge will once again build on the strong presence of London’s Waste Authorities, regional disposal authorities, and representatives from NAWDO, who played a key role in shaping discussions at the 2025 event.
