Media Fusion, in collaboration with Crain Communications, has officially announced the launch of Bharat Recycling Show 2025, which is set to become India’s largest trade exhibition and conference focused on commodity recycling. Scheduled to take place from November 13 to 15, 2025, at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai, the event aims to bring together industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers to explore state-of-the-art recycling technologies and sustainable waste management solutions.
This year’s edition of the Bharat Recycling Show will be co-located with the second edition of the Plastics Recycling Show India. This strategic alignment is designed to encourage cross-industry collaboration and create a holistic platform that delivers a 360-degree view of the recycling ecosystem. The dual events are expected to generate momentum in India’s journey toward a circular economy by uniting stakeholders from various sectors under one roof.
Taher Patrawala, Managing Director of Media Fusion, emphasised the importance of the initiative by highlighting the market potential. “India’s waste management market is projected to reach USD 18.40 billion by 2030, driven by increasing waste generation and a rising focus on circular economy principles. Yet, with only 30% of recyclable waste currently being processed, the gap between potential and practice remains wide. Bharat Recycling Show 2025 aims to bridge that gap by providing an essential platform for innovation, policy dialogue, and strategic collaboration,” he stated.
The event will showcase advanced recycling technologies and best practices across a wide range of commodities. These include metals, electronic waste (e-scrap), batteries, end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), tyres, paper, construction and demolition (C&D) waste, wood, and textiles. The metals segment will feature both ferrous materials like iron and steel, and non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper, zinc, lead, brass, nickel, gold, and silver. The e-scrap section will spotlight recent innovations in electronic waste management, while the battery recycling component will focus on sustainable disposal and repurposing techniques.
Recycling solutions for ELVs will highlight streamlined dismantling and component reuse methods. The tyre segment will present environmentally friendly recycling innovations, and the paper recycling section will explore new methods to manage paper waste more effectively. Meanwhile, C&D waste recycling will showcase technologies for converting debris into reusable materials. Additional focus areas will include wood repurposing strategies and advances in textile recycling aimed at reducing fabric waste.
Bharat Recycling Show 2025 has already garnered strong support from key industry associations, including the India Lead Zinc Development Association (ILZDA) and MTLEXS, underscoring the event’s industry-wide relevance. Several global and domestic companies such as LAMACART, Forest Resources, and Power Hydrotech have confirmed their participation, and will display cutting-edge recycling solutions tailored specifically for Indian market conditions.
Commenting on the event’s timing and significance, Matthew Barber, Global Events Director at Crain Communications, remarked, “Bharat Recycling Show 2025 is launching at a pivotal moment when India’s recycling industry is poised for significant growth on both the national and international stage. The success of Plastics Recycling Show India has validated the urgent need to spotlight recycling innovations across all commodity streams. This event has been thoughtfully curated to convene key stakeholders, address pressing challenges, and advance policy and technological conversations that are essential for sustainable progress.”
Alongside the exhibition, a high-level conference will be held during the three-day event. The conference will tackle critical topics such as the principles of circular economy, innovations in sustainable packaging, evolving regulatory frameworks, emerging recycling technologies, and current industry trends. The goal is to bridge knowledge gaps, stimulate meaningful dialogue, and foster the adoption of forward-looking recycling practices, thereby accelerating India’s shift toward an environmentally responsible waste management system.
