A very warm welcome to the 2nd
Waste Management Europe 2023
conference and exhibition
WME 2022 took place in Bergamo with excellent participation for many leading experts
in the waste management sectors, including government and policy representatives
shaping legislation. With more than 2,000 attendees, 100 exhibiting companies, dozens
of partner associations and organisations, and over 200 conference delegates - it was
an excellent launch platform that has created significant excitement in the community
who are seeking an annual gathering place of merit for Europe.

Today, WME is aiming to grow, bringing in more key project owners, investors, contractors,
consultants and industry leaders from the waste management and the circular economy
value chain to address even more critical needs and the challenges of today, tomorrow
and beyond.

This is Europe’s meeting place for those seeking to drive the waste management sectors
onwards and upwards.

We look forward to welcoming you all to Waste Management Europe on April 2023!

 Why Waste Management Europe
With the world facing an ambitious target of net-zero carbon
emissions, Europe is leader in clean and sustainable environmental
technology and solutions: WME will showcase the latest.
With waste projected to increase by 75% by 2050, we must
implement environmental solutions at an urgent pace to ensure
a safe and clean environment. European countries have proven
solutions from which the world can learn: WME will highlight all
the critical issues we need to address now.
Whilst many countries are recycling a large portion of their waste,
much of it remains in landfill sites which has a significant impact on
pollution: WME will address these challenges and opportunities.

Waste Management Europe will showcase solutions that can reduce
the amount of waste generated, and increase recycling rates.
WME will be the event for the industry to meet, network, debate
and find the way forward;
The circular economy is having a significant impact on the waste
management sector, but it is not enough. The key stakeholders will
attend WME and challenge the sector to do more at a quicker
pace.
Waste Management is not a European problem: it is a global
problem. Europe is leading the way in waste management, and
WME provides an international forum to address critical topics
and discover and implement solutions.
