World Leading E-Waste, Battery, Metal, ITAD & Circular Electronics Conference Reveals 2025 Agenda

The upcoming E-Waste World, Battery Recycling, Metal Recycling, and ITAD & Circular Electronics Conference & Expos scheduled for 11-12 June 2025, will deliver a technically robust agenda covering four specialised tracks, each providing actionable insights into the evolving landscape of responsible resource management.

The release of the preliminary agenda marks a significant milestone, highlighting a two-day programme filled with technical insights, policy discussions, and cutting-edge advancements. As the urgency for sustainable waste management grows, the 2025 agenda is designed to address key challenges and opportunities in the industry, covering regulatory updates, innovative recycling techniques, and global strategies for managing these waste sectors.

E-Waste & WEEE Recycling Conference

Pascal Leroy of WEEE Forum will discuss optimised collection and material recovery for EU circular goals. Tobias Kuhm will highlight the Aurubis Lünen Recycling Model, while Dr. Nikolaus P. K. Borowski explores copper refining from e-waste. Josephita Harry is set to address global regulatory harmonisation, followed by a panel on Basel Convention policies with the European Commission, Eurometaux, and Umicore. Afternoon sessions will cover digital product passports, photovoltaic panel recycling, and lithium-ion battery fire risks, concluding with a discussion on consumer participation in repair and disposal.

Day two will feature Rafael Basciano on WEEE Directive revisions, followed by compliance discussions. Federico Magalini will moderate a panel on Africa’s e-waste infrastructure with Electro Recycling Ghana and EWaste Africa.
