IRRE Shanghai International Waste Treatment and Resource Recycling Exhibition Shanghai 11. – 13. December 2025 | Trade fair for waste management and recycling technologies

The IRRE – Shanghai International Waste Treatment and Resource Recycling Exhibition is an annual trade fair showcasing innovative technologies in waste treatment and resource utilization. Held at the prestigious Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC), it serves as a central meeting point for professionals from the environmental, waste management, and recycling sectors. As a key event on the international exhibition calendar, IRRE takes place each year in the economically vibrant metropolis of Shanghai. The name “IRRE” not only reflects the event’s international focus but also symbolizes the beginning of a new era in intelligent, resource-efficient, and low-emission environmental technologies.

Organized by the experienced Shanghai Yihan Exhibition Service Co., Ltd., IRRE provides a platform where industry leaders, research institutions, developers, decision-makers, and practitioners from around the globe come together to present forward-looking solutions for a sustainable circular economy. The event emphasizes practical relevance, innovation, and technological specialization. It bridges scientific knowledge with real-world applications and supports companies in advancing their strategies for CO₂ monitoring and reduction.

The exhibition addresses current challenges and innovations in the treatment of municipal, industrial, and hazardous waste, the recovery of valuable materials, advanced recycling technologies, composting, biogas utilization, and the development of intelligent systems for waste classification, remote monitoring, and resource recovery. Visitors can expect a wide range of technologies and services—from sorting systems, shredders, and baling presses to pyrolysis equipment, digital identification and control systems, environmental information platforms, and cutting-edge laboratory technology.
A defining feature of IRRE is its accompanying program of professional conferences, summits, and seminars. These forums bring together international experts to discuss emerging trends, research findings, and proven practices. They serve not only as a platform for knowledge exchange but also as a catalyst for concrete collaboration between science, industry, and public institutions.
Exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of fields, including environmental and process engineering, mechanical and plant engineering, urban planning, circular economy, and both public and private waste management. The exhibition attracts professionals from government agencies, engineering firms, energy and utility companies, plant construction, the recycling industry, as well as key decision-makers in urban development and facility management. In doing so, IRRE contributes not only to the economic development of the region but also actively supports China’s climate goals and the implementation of “zero-waste city” initiatives.
The Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC) is one of Asia’s most advanced exhibition venues. Conveniently located in the Pudong district, it is easily accessible via public transport—especially Metro Line 7. Its modern infrastructure and the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Shanghai make IRRE a must-attend event for anyone seeking to shape the future of sustainable urban and environmental development.
The IRRE Shanghai International Waste Treatment and Resource Recycling Exhibition will take place on 3 days from Thursday, 11. December to Saturday, 13. December 2025 in Shanghai.
