IRRE 2025-Shanghai International Waste Treatment and Resource Recycling Exhibition

Driven by policies, technology, and the market, China's renewable resource recycling industry is in a stage of rapid development. However, it faces challenges such as insufficient resource recovery levels in emerging industries, inadequate policy support for recyclable materials, a need for smoother recycling systems for waste materials, and the construction of regional solid waste collaborative governance systems. In the future, the industry will contribute to achieving China's carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals through technological innovation and industrial chain integration by recycling renewable resources, reducing the extraction and processing of primary resources, and lowering energy consumption and pollutant emissions. Enterprises will increasingly focus on carbon emission accounting and carbon reduction actions to promote the green and low-carbon development of the industry.

This exhibition will bring together the latest scientific research achievements and innovative products in this field, exploring new directions and future trends of technological progress. It is dedicated to in-depth exchanges and cooperation among research institutions, production and circulation enterprises, and industry audiences, practicing the new concepts of green and low-carbon sustainable development, recognizing waste as a resource, and a urban governance community. It will promote innovative development in the industry, effectively enhance the development level of enterprises, provide industry users with better-quality and more advanced technological industry solutions, and promote the construction of "waste-free cities" to take the lead in the country, playing a leading and exemplary role.

★Reasons to Participate

‌Market Size and Growth
‌: China's renewable resource recycling market continues to expand, with an expected market size of several hundred billion yuan in 2025. Traditional sectors such as scrap steel, waste plastics, and waste paper dominate, while emerging sectors such as waste batteries and waste electronics are growing rapidly. In 2023, China's waste recycling market exceeded 500 billion yuan, and the value of renewable resource recycling and utilization is expected to reach 5 trillion yuan by 2025, showing strong growth momentum.

‌
Policy Support
‌: The national government has issued a series of policies and regulations, such as the Circular Economy Development Strategy and Recent Action Plan and the 14th Five-Year Plan for Circular Economy Development, clarifying the direction and goals of industry development. Local governments have also actively responded with policies such as tax incentives and financial subsidies to support technological innovation and industrial upgrading among enterprises.

‌
Technological Innovation and Intelligent Development‌
The industry's technology continues to advance, with significant improvements in the recycling rates of waste plastics and waste metals. For example, the recycling rate of waste plastics has increased from 30% to over 50%. The "Internet + Recycling" model has emerged, with widespread applications of intelligent sorting and recycling equipment and waste battery recycling technology, improving recycling efficiency and resource utilization rates.
