Beyond waste: a global call to action.

The 2026 ISWA World Congress, hosted by CIWM in partnership with ISWA, is the flagship event for the global waste and resource management sector. Taking place from 9–11  November 2026 at London’s iconic QEII Centre, it brings together leaders from across the world to unite around a shared ambition: to move the world beyond waste.

This is your moment to create a legacy. Returning to the UK for the first time in over 30 years, this historic homecoming will welcome thousands of professionals from across the waste management, resource recovery and circular economy sectors.

Through an ambitious scientific and technical programme, real-world insights and international collaboration, this is where bold ideas meet global solutions, building the lasting legacy our planet demands.

The Congress uniquely brings together practitioners, policymakers, researchers and academics to connect, collaborate and drive progress.
