Battery and Universal Waste Recycling Conference

This event delves into the complexities, challenges and opportunities surrounding battery and UW recycling. As the use of battery-powered consumer goods, industrial and commercial equipment and electric vehicles grows worldwide, the volume of discarded batteries continues to increase. Yet only a fraction of these batteries and other high-value components are collected and recycled properly. At the same time, the generation of other forms of universal waste (UW), such as solar panels, lamps and small electronics, continues to expand, creating more challenges but also opportunities for responsible materials management and value recovery.

What was previously the Battery and Critical Metals Recycling Conference is now the Battery and Universal Waste Recycling Conference, broadening the scope to the full spectrum of the universal waste stream. To learn more about the event please visit the website.
