Global Industrial Waste to Value Expo Dammam

The Global Industrial Waste to Value Expo is an international trade exhibition dedicated to industrial circular economy solutions, resource recovery and sustainable environmental technologies. At the heart of the event is the transformation of industrial waste into commercially valuable raw materials, energy and reusable resources. In doing so, the exhibition addresses one of the most significant challenges facing global industry: improving resource efficiency while reducing environmental impact through innovative waste-to-value solutions.

The exhibition serves as an international platform for companies, government agencies, investors and technology providers that develop or implement new approaches to the recovery and utilisation of industrial residues and by-products.

The event takes place at the Dhahran International Exhibitions Center in Dammam, located in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is organised by Spartans Events Management, a specialist organiser of industrial and technology-focused trade exhibitions. The exhibition aims to bring together international companies, decision-makers and industry experts while promoting knowledge exchange and technology transfer in the field of industrial resource recovery.

The Global Industrial Waste to Value Expo focuses on key areas of the circular economy. These include the recovery of valuable materials from industrial waste streams, circular economy strategies, industrial symbiosis and sustainable production and manufacturing systems. Another major focus is the treatment of petrochemical and hydrocarbon-based waste. Exhibitors showcase technologies for processing refinery sludge, tank-bottom residues, and oil and gas waste, as well as solutions for recovering valuable hydrocarbons, including pyrolysis and advanced recycling technologies for plastic waste.

A further area of focus is modern municipal and industrial waste management. Featured solutions include waste-to-energy plants, systems for the production of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), and technologies that generate energy from residual and waste materials. Water and salt recovery technologies also play a prominent role. These include advanced process water treatment systems, water reuse solutions, and technologies for extracting salts and minerals from industrial wastewater. Such solutions are particularly important in water-scarce regions.

The exhibition programme is complemented by a broad range of environmental and industrial technologies, including wastewater treatment systems, emission reduction technologies, environmental monitoring solutions, and infrastructure concepts designed to meet national and international environmental standards. As a result, visitors gain a comprehensive overview of the latest developments across the entire industrial sustainability value chain.

Products and services on display include recycling and material recovery technologies, waste-to-energy systems, water and wastewater treatment solutions, environmental monitoring systems, raw material and mineral recovery plants, digital resource management solutions, engineering services, consultancy expertise, and investment and project development services for sustainable industrial projects.

Among the highlights of the exhibition are industry conferences, expert presentations, technology showcases, panel discussions and networking events. International specialists share the latest developments, innovative technologies and proven industry best practices.

Exhibitors primarily represent the petrochemical, refining, chemical processing, recycling and waste management, water and wastewater, energy, mining, metallurgy, environmental technology and plant engineering sectors, as well as industrial services and technology development. Key visitor groups include company executives, plant and production managers, environmental and sustainability professionals, engineers, investors, project developers, public-sector representatives and specialists from the energy, chemical, petrochemical, water, recycling and infrastructure industries.

The modern Dhahran International Exhibitions Center provides a high-quality infrastructure with excellent international connectivity. The venue is easily accessible via the nearby King Fahd International Airport, one of the largest airports in Saudi Arabia, which offers direct connections to numerous international destinations.

The Global Industrial Waste to Value Expo will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 13. October to Thursday, 15. October 2026 in Dammam.
