Recycle Tech Japan Osaka

Recycle Tech Japan is a specialised trade fair dedicated to recycling technologies and the circular economy. It is aimed squarely at a professional audience and serves as a platform for innovation, supporting the transition from linear to circular value chains.

The event takes place annually at INTEX Osaka, one of Japan’s largest and most modern exhibition venues, located in the economically dynamic Osaka metropolitan area. It is organised by RX Japan Ltd., one of Asia’s leading exhibition organisers, renowned for delivering high-calibre, internationally focused trade shows.

The exhibition focuses on practical solutions across the entire recycling value chain. At its core are advanced technologies, including machinery and equipment for sorting, shredding, washing and pelletising. These are complemented by digital applications, such as AI-driven systems for optimising material flows.

A further key focus is the circular economy. The event demonstrates how closed-loop material cycles can be designed, product lifecycles extended and resource-efficient business models implemented. This is supported by innovative materials and processes, particularly in the field of chemical recycling. Technologies such as gasification and monomerisation are opening up new recovery pathways for complex plastic waste. Solutions for modern waste management and smart infrastructure—from collection through to logistics—also form an integral part of the exhibition.

The show features practical products and services that can be directly integrated into industrial operations, including specialised recycling machinery, software solutions and complete plant concepts. Exhibitors represent sectors such as environmental technology, mechanical engineering, chemicals, plastics processing and digital technologies.

The visitor profile is clearly geared towards industry professionals. Representatives from industry, municipal waste management, research, government and sustainability-focused organisations attend to develop business opportunities, exchange knowledge and inform strategic decision-making.

Programme highlights include expert forums, live demonstrations of new technologies and sector-specific awards recognising outstanding innovation in the recycling industry.

The venue also offers excellent accessibility: INTEX Osaka is well connected to Kansai International Airport and can be reached quickly by rail and public transport. Overall, Recycle Tech Japan combines forward-looking themes with a conveniently located venue, positioning itself as a key meeting point for stakeholders shaping the future of the circular economy.

The Recycle Tech Japan will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 13. May to Friday, 15. May 2026 in Osaka.
