Waste Expo Australia 2026

RX is a global leader in the events industry, delivering over 400 events in 22 countries across 42 industry sectors. We create opportunities for businesses to grow, communities to connect, and industries to evolve.At RX, we combine face-to-face events with data-driven insights and digital tools to deliver meaningful business outcomes. Our purpose is to build businesses and enrich lives through powerful event experiences. The success of Waste Expo Australia 2024 is a testament to what can be achieved when sustainability is embedded into every aspect of an event, and treated as a responsibility versus just a business “goal”. We committed to an ambitious mission for 2024: “Journey to Net Zero Waste.” This commitment was not just about incremental improvements but about setting a new standard for sustainable events. It required us to rethink our practices, collaborate, and transform the way Waste Expo operated—from its planning stages to move-out.

Featuring Sustainability Victoria, Recycling Victoria, and EPA Victoria and located on the exhibition floor, the Government Lounge will be a hub for discussions and insights into the future of waste management and sustainability in Victoria.Returning this year is the Zero Waste Café, showcasing many of the sustainability initiatives in place supporting our journey to net zero waste.
