revamped features. Visitors from key organisations across these sectors are already registered to attend, including influencers from National Grid, Skanska, British Steel, the NHS and Tesco. Multiple universities and local councils are also attending, including local council representatives from Belfast, London, the north west, the north east of England and the Midlands. Decision-makers in the resource
management sector negotiate with a wide range of overlapping industries, suppliers and government agencies, both local and central. At RWM 2017, senior industry figures will have the opportunity to share ideas with policy makers, trade associations, waste leaders, operational leaders from councils, materials processers and innovators from these increasingly inter-dependent sectors.
Optimising materials handling and recycling processes is at the heart of September’s RWM event – the UK show dedicated to Recycling, Waste Management, Energy, Water, and Renewables. RWM Event director Nicola Meadows previews the show

DAILY SEMINAR SESSIONS RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE SHOW
- Utilities Keynote Theatre: The platform for UK energy and water leaders to share their insights into the latest industry developments. Topics to be debated across the three-day event include energy supply, pricing, energy storage, renewable innovations, water deregulation and future visions. These resources are about far more than just cost, and correct management can be a source of value, resilience and real competitive advantage. - Utilities in Practice Theatre: This case study-led seminar programme seeks to support visitors with practical, peer-led insight into how to drive efficiency, create value and deliver compliant water, energy and renewables services. Find out what best practice looks like, and where new commercial opportunities lie that your company could stand to benefit from. - Circular Economy Theatre: Focusing on how the principles of circular economy can be applied to maximise value and the sustainable use of resources. The world’s cities generate 1.3 billion tonnes of waste per year and this is expected to rise to 2.2 billion tonnes by 2025. These wastes pose a growing risk to human health, air and water quality, and are an increasing source of greenhouse gas emissions. But effective waste and resources management is an opportunity for economies to re-invent themselves, to mine society’s wastes and close materials and utilities loops on all fronts. - Energy from Waste Theatre: Sharing best practice, technological advances, and changes to the global political and economic landscapes which impact this evolving sector, which has not always had favourable perceptions in the media and public eye. New commercial prospects for EfW will be assessed, together with what could constitute barriers to the growth of the industry within the UK and wider global market. Other prospects such as the opportunities in a decarbonising economy, and what impact an increase in recycling rates will have on future EfW feedstocks, will also come under the spotlight. - Municipal and Materials Recovery Theatre: The platform for resource and waste industry experts from both the public and private sector to come together and discuss creative techniques to drive recycling rates. From the effective management and commercialisation of food waste to tackling waste crime, and rethinking revenue streams from recycling, seminar sessions in this theatre are set to see exciting debates over the three-day show.

The Machinery & Equipment zone will display the latest technology and components in the lifting, sorting, shredding, baling and compacting of material, boasting new exhibitors such as A & C Weber, and returning exhibitors including Eriez, Bunting Magnetics, Durwen, Fairport Containers, Copex, and Wrights Recycling.
EXTRACTING VALUE FROM WASTE The Recyclers & Reprocessors zone also focuses on companies that specialise in the innovative handing of waste with the goal of diverting it from landfill, and ensuring that it as much value as possible is extracted. New exhibitors for 2017 include Tomra Sorting, and returning exhibitors include AMCS. The RWM Connects service, which allows both visitors and exhibitors to network and do business, and the CIWM Clinic are also based in this zone. In the Handling & Logistics zone, innovations in the transportation of commercial or construction waste will be highlighted, with new exhibitors including E Power Trucks, and returning exhibitors including Dennis Eagle, Iveco, Scarab Sweepers and Smartlift.
