[Re]Waste Moscow: Pioneering the Circular Economy Revolution

In the heart of Moscow, a transformative event is reshaping how industries view waste. The [Re]Waste International Exhibition of Secondary Raw Materials and Products from Recycled Materials, Technologies and Equipment for Recycling stands as Russia’s premier B2B contracting platform for the circular economy.

A Vision for a Waste-Free Future

The philosophy behind [Re]Waste is simple yet revolutionary: Instead of landfills, new products. Instead of waste, valuable resources. The exhibition demonstrates that waste is not an endpoint but a new beginning — a chance to rethink production, consumption, and resource management.

As part of the larger WasteTech exhibition complex, [Re]Waste offers a targeted platform where leading companies from all industrial sectors come together to implement eco-efficient solutions and create closed-loop production processes.

What the Exhibition Showcases

The exhibition covers the entire recycling value chain, from collection to finished products:

• Secondary Raw Materials Production: Plastics, glass, paper/cardboard, tires, rubber, metal, wood, and organic fats
• Collection, Sorting, and Transportation: Systems and solutions for efficient waste logistics
• Recycling Technologies and Equipment: Processing lines for plastics (granulation, compounding), cardboard, glass, rubber, metal, electronic scrap, petroleum products, and oils
• Products from Recycled Materials: Finished goods demonstrating what’s possible with circular manufacturing
• Information Technologies: Digital solutions and IT systems for waste management
• Design and Research: Innovation in sustainable materials and processes

Key Industry Players and Innovations

The 2025 edition featured over 60 exhibitors from Russia, Belarus, India, and China. Russian companies showcased significant domestic advancements, including optical scanners for waste sorting that compete successfully with international alternatives. The exhibition also hosted the EcwaTech WasteTech Awards (EWA 2025) , recognizing companies making outstanding contributions to the industry.
