What To Expect at RWM 2023 What To Expect at RWM 2023

RWM, the Resource and Waste Management exhibition, will return to Birmingham’s NEC Arena in September 2023. Anticipation is high considering how well-received the past editions have been.

Hosted between 13th and 14th September, the 2023 RWM Expo will provide a platform for both exhibitors and visitors to meet, discuss, and grow business relationships and partnerships. The Plant Planet team, together with our sister publication, Future Waste, will be in attendance. It goes without saying that we are greatly looking forward to attending a variety of seminars involving some of the brightest minds in the industry and hearing what insights they have.

What is the RWM & LetsRecycle Event?

The RWM is the crème de la crème of recycling events in Great Britain. First hosted under its current management five years ago, the event boasts unrivalled seminar schedules, industry-leading company exhibitions, and fascinating live demonstrations.

The event’s host venue, the famous NEC Arena, reflects its national popularity and importance. Whether you’re in construction, recycling, plant hire, or simply an environmentalist, you’ll find great value at the RWM event and you’ll certainly leave the NEC having learned a lot.

What to expect at this year’s RWM

Building upon its status as the UK’s leading event for waste, resource, and sustainability professionals, the RWM & LetsRecycle Live event will see its biggest-ever and most important edition to date. Technological highlights of last year included the Doyle Machinery VZ 950 Titan Shredder, the BOMAG BC973 RB-5 landfill compactor, and the JCB Wastemaster.

All were boundary-pushing products upon their release and this year’s event is guaranteed to feature the newest generation of disruptive, game-changing products.

We are excited to be attending the RWM Event ourselves! Plant Planet exhibited at RWM last year, and we’re hoping to build upon the success we had in 2022. We’re particularly enthusiastic to meet the 10,000+ unique visitors attending the show and talking to them about their careers, interests, and lives.

Another highlight of the RWM event is its pulling power. Major brands like McDonald’s, Tesco, Siemens, Biffa, British Steel, Nestle, and Marks & Spencer are just a handful of A-list attendees at RWM, with a total of 48 countries being represented in 2022. Almost 90% of exhibitors hold buying power, whilst 78% hold senior management positions. If you’re in the recycling industry and wish to make new connections, then RWM really is the event for you.

2022 Event A Huge Success

Those who’ll remember the last edition of RWM will understand why we’re so excited about this one. Highlights of the last edition included the 42 new exhibitors, the live demonstration area, and the bustling atmosphere. This year’s event aims to build upon the 2022 event, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store.

Dedicated Machinery and Equipment Zone

RWM has a dedicated zone for machinery and equipment where the latest industry-leading technology will be showcased. Companies like Sword Engineering, Terex Recycling Systems, CK International, Deltax Limited, Blazequel, Rotospiral, TANA, and Nihot represent just some of the past and present exhibitors here, each one displaying awe-inspiring equipment and futuristic technology.

The variety of the RWM event doesn’t end there, though, as there is also the Collections & Transport Zone, the Recycling Services Zone, and the spacious outdoor area.

Modern issues affecting the Recycling Industry

RWM’s machinery and equipment zone promises to be busy. With the global environment under threat and the safety of our planet potentially hanging in the balance, it’ll be fascinating to see what solutions those in the industry have. The latest balers, compactors, sorting equipment, wheeled handlers, and shredders will be exhibited as manufacturers aim to tackle the issues plaguing the modern environment.

The 2023 RWM event will take place against the backdrop of the ongoing plastics crisis. With global talks recently occurring in both France and Uruguay about the spiralling impact of the material, we’re sincerely looking forward to hearing from the experts.

The role of AI will be another huge talking point. As part of the build-up to this year’s RWM event, a virtual talk hosted by GreyParrot AI was given online. This seminar, hosted on 15 June, covered the role of artificial intelligence in the recycling sector and what impact it could have in the future. Plants are now so busy and so overrun with improperly disposed materials, plastics, and disposable vapes, that it is now time to look for assistance in the form of AI. Just how artificial intelligence can help the industry remains to be seen in its entirety, but we’re looking forward to learning more about it.

In conclusion, Plant Planet is greatly looking forward to the 2023 RWM event and we can’t wait to meet those in attendance.
