Metals Recycling Event (MRE) Birmingham

The Metals Recycling Event (MRE) is the leading trade fair for technologies and solutions in metal and vehicle recycling. As an integral part of the renowned ESS Expo, it brings together industry professionals each year at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham. The event focuses on the latest developments, sustainable practices, and innovative systems for managing end-of-life vehicles and metal-containing waste. It is organized by Roar B2B Limited, a company specializing in forward-looking B2B events.

MRE places a strong emphasis on efficient and sustainable approaches to resource recovery. In addition to technical innovations, the event highlights strategies for reducing carbon emissions, conserving energy, and minimizing environmental impact across the entire value chain.

Visitors can expect a wide range of highly specialized technologies characterized by precision and efficiency – including powerful shredders, sorters, and processing systems, intelligent material handling equipment, and advanced solutions for depollution and vehicle dismantling. All of these innovations pursue a common goal: to maximize the recovery of valuable raw materials while minimizing energy consumption and emissions.

More than just a product showcase, MRE serves as a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and industry development. Decision-makers from recycling companies, vehicle dismantlers, plant manufacturers, and environmental technology sectors meet providers of cutting-edge technologies, consultancy services, and operational solutions. A diverse supporting program featuring live demonstrations, expert presentations, and discussion panels offers practical insights into current trends and technological advancements.

As one of Europe’s largest exhibition venues, the NEC Birmingham is centrally located and easily accessible by train, car, and air, providing an ideal setting for both domestic and international visitors.

MRE is therefore more than just a trade fair – it is the premier meeting point for everyone committed to shaping the future of the recycling industry.

The Metals Recycling Event (MRE) will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 17. September to Thursday, 18. September 2025 in Birmingham.
