RWM USA brings the people who manage America's waste together with the companies that supply them, in a format built for doing business.
What it is
A two-day exhibition and conference for waste collection, recycling, resource recovery and the circular economy, open to the public and private sector alike.
New state producer responsibility laws, recycled-content mandates, fleet electrification and automation are reshaping how material is collected and processed. RWM USA is where the people making those changes compare notes and find suppliers.
Organized by
Organizer name
Launching in Atlanta, Georgia in 2027, as the first show on a wider US environmental services platform.
How it is different
Six decisions that shape the show, from the floor plan to who gets on stage.
The whole material chain
Most events cover either waste services or recycling technology. RWM USA follows material from collection through processing to the manufacturers who buy it back.
Machinery running, not parked
The outdoor demonstration area lets manufacturers run shredders, screens, loaders and vehicles under load. Buyers see throughput, not a brochure.
Content from practitioners
An advisory panel of operators, municipal leaders and reprocessors programs the conference. Speaking slots are not sold.
A show for the Southeast
The region is adding people, plants and contracts faster than almost anywhere. Atlanta gives it a sector event within a day's drive.
Built around US funding and procurement
Exhibitors and sessions are organized around how US programs are actually paid for: municipal contracts, state producer responsibility laws, federal incentives and private capital.
The first of a wider platform
Water, land, flood resilience, air quality and more will join over time, so professionals can cover adjacent disciplines in one visit.
Why attend
Two days to see equipment working, meet the suppliers behind it and compare notes with peers. Two-day pass $99, conference included.
Register interest
Signature featureSee equipment run under load
Shredders, screens, loaders and collection vehicles demonstrated live on a published timetable. Watch three machines process the same material back to back before you commit capital.
The whole supply chain on one floor
Six zones laid out in the order material moves, from collection to end market. Walk it once and meet every link.
Main stage and technology theater
A practitioner-led conference, included
