Metal Recycling Conference & Expo Frankfurt

The Metal Recycling Conference & Expo is the leading international trade fair and accompanying conference dedicated entirely to the future of metal recycling and sustainable resource management. Held annually at Messe Frankfurt—one of Europe’s most modern and environmentally friendly exhibition centers—the event brings together professionals and decision-makers from across the entire metal recycling value chain.

The organizer, Trans-World Events Ltd., is a UK-based global company with extensive experience in organizing specialized industry events. With the Metal Recycling Conference & Expo, the company has created a central platform for the exchange of innovations, sustainable technologies, and future-proof solutions.

The trade fair has a clear objective: to promote a functional circular economy within the metal sector. It focuses on strategies for the more efficient use of critical raw materials and CO₂-reducing recycling processes. A key feature of Metal Recycling Conference & Expo is its simultaneous hosting alongside the Battery Recycling Conference & Expo and the E-Waste World Conference & Expo. This trio-format fosters interdisciplinary connections and facilitates dialogue between related industries.

Metal Recycling Conference & Expo’s thematic focus is centered on four core areas:the recovery of metals and critical raw materials; battery recycling in the context of electromobility; innovative processes for e-waste treatment; circular electronics design and IT Asset Disposition (ITAD). Together, these focus areas offer targeted responses to current ecological and economic challenges.

The exhibition showcases cutting-edge machinery and systems for metal recycling, digital tools for process optimization, specialized software solutions, logistics systems, and consultancy services in ESG compliance and circular economy strategy.

The professional audience includes experts in metal processing, recycling, environmental engineering, and sustainability management. Participants range from decision-makers, engineers, and scientists to policymakers—all united by the common goal of shaping the transition to resource-efficient economic models.
