Bharat Recycling Show 2026: India's Recycling Momentum, From Policy to Practice
India's recycling industry is at a turning point. Rising resource security concerns, a push for critical minerals, rapid electrification, growing EPR compliance requirements, and new technologies are reshaping how the country manages its waste. At Hulladek PWL, these are the exact forces we navigate every day as we handle e-waste, battery waste, plastic waste, and IT asset recycling across Rajasthan and beyond, which is why we're keeping a close eye on the Bharat Recycling Show Conference 2026.
What Is the Bharat Recycling Show?
Now in its 2nd edition, the Bharat Recycling Show will be held from 31 August to 2 September 2026 at Hall 4, Bombay Exhibition Centre, Nesco, Mumbai. The event pairs a large-scale trade exhibition with a 3-day conference built around the theme "India's Recycling Momentum, From Policy to Practice."
The conference brings together policymakers, recyclers, manufacturers, technology providers, and industry leaders to discuss the issues shaping India's circular economy, from green steel and scrap economics to battery recycling, e-waste recovery, end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), tyre circularity, and emerging recycling technologies. With 60+ expert speakers, three days of sessions, and a focus on five key commodities, it's shaping up to be one of the most significant recycling-industry gatherings in India this year.
What the Conference Will Cover
The agenda is organised around five broad themes that touch nearly every part of the recycling value chain:
Circular Economy Frameworks - EPR, public-private partnership models, carbon markets, and evolving waste rules
Commodity Showcases - material-specific sessions on metals, batteries, ELVs, e-scrap, and tyres
Technology & Innovation - how AI, automation, pyrolysis, robotics, and decentralised systems are transforming material recovery
Infrastructure & Investment - building scalable, bankable, ESG-ready recycling infrastructure
Cross-Sector Synergies - connecting industries through shared challenges, including informal-sector inclusion and multi-material EPR
Why This Matters for the E-Waste and Battery Recycling Sector
For companies like ours working in electronic waste, battery waste, and plastic recycling, several of the conference's core discussion points hit close to home:
Expanding EPR mandates are pushing producers and recyclers alike toward tighter compliance and traceability, a trend we deal with daily as a government-authorised e-waste recycler.
Battery and e-scrap recovery technologies are advancing quickly, and staying current with best practices directly affects how efficiently and safely materials can be recovered.
ESG-driven investment in the waste sector is growing, which could open up new financing and partnership opportunities for organised recyclers.
Formal-informal sector integration remains a critical conversation for India, since a large share of e-waste and scrap still moves through informal channels before it reaches compliant recyclers.
Who Should Pay Attention
The event is designed for a wide cross-section of the industry, including recyclers and scrap processors, manufacturers and OEMs, FMCG and consumer goods companies, waste management companies, technology and equipment providers, battery/e-scrap/ELV/tyre recyclers, policymakers, sustainability and ESG professionals, and investors and industry associations.
Delegate passes include access to panel discussions and keynotes, market intelligence sessions, real-world case studies, networking opportunities with policymakers and industry leaders, and complimentary access to the co-located Bharat Recycling Show and Plastics Recycling Show India exhibitions.

Electronic waste recycling - safe, compliant e-waste collection and processing
Battery waste recycling - including handling of lithium batteries
Plastic waste recycling - with EPR-compliant management and disposal
IT asset disposal - eco-friendly recycling of laptops, desktops, and other IT equipment, with secure data destruction
With a combined recycling capacity of 15,100 metric tonnes (6,600 MT for electronic waste and 8,500 MT for plastic waste), over 1 million kilograms of waste recycled to date, and 500+ clients served across the country, HPWL supports responsible resource recovery, environmental sustainability, and India's transition to a circular economy.
How the Conference Themes Connect to HPWL's Work
Nearly every major theme on the Bharat Recycling Show agenda maps directly onto what we do at HPWL:
EPR and Producer Responsibility - As an EPR-compliant recycler, we already work closely with producers to help them meet their Extended Producer Responsibility obligations for e-waste, batteries, and plastics. Conference discussions on evolving EPR rules and multi-material frameworks directly inform how we structure our compliance and reporting processes for clients.
Battery Recycling Innovation - With electrification accelerating across India, safe lithium battery recovery is becoming a bigger part of our service mix. Sessions on battery recycling technology and market dynamics help us benchmark our processes against emerging best practices.
Technology & Automation - Advances in AI-driven sorting, automation, and material recovery discussed at the conference are relevant to how we plan to scale and modernise our own processing capacity over time.
ESG-Readiness and Investment - As ESG-linked funding grows in the waste sector, being positioned as a transparent, government-authorised, and certifiably compliant recycler gives HPWL an advantage in partnering with businesses that need traceable, audit-ready recycling documentation.
Formal Sector Capacity Building - Conversations around integrating informal recyclers into the formal system reflect a challenge we see first-hand in Rajasthan, where a large volume of e-waste still moves outside compliant channels before reaching companies like ours.
For a company whose day-to-day work sits at the intersection of e-waste, battery, and plastic recycling, the Bharat Recycling Show isn't just an industry event to observe — it's a chance to align our practices with where national policy and technology are headed, and to build the partnerships that help us serve our clients better.
Our Takeaway
Events like the Bharat Recycling Show matter because India's recycling future won't be built by technology alone - it will be shaped by the policy conversations, cross-sector collaborations, and on-ground realities that gatherings like this one bring into the open. As a company committed to responsible e-waste, battery, and plastic waste recycling, we see this conference as an important checkpoint for understanding where India's circular economy is headed — and how organisations like Hulladek PWL can continue contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable tomorrow.
