The Environmental Services & Solutions Expo (ESS Expo) 2026 takes place on 16 and 17 September 2026 at the NEC Birmingham in the United Kingdom. ESS Expo is the umbrella under which eight co-located shows run on a single floor, making it the largest environmental and resource management event in the UK.
The co-located shows are the Resource & Waste Management Expo, the Complete Auto Recycling Show, the Energy, Fuels & Decarbonisation Expo, the Contamination & Land Remediation Expo, the Geotechnical Engineering & Operations Expo, the Water, Wastewater & Environmental Management Expo and the Air Quality & Emissions Expo. One badge gives access to all of them.
For recyclers the draw is the breadth: collection vehicles and bins, balers and compactors, shredders and granulators, optical and robotic sorting, weighing and tracking software, and end-of-life vehicle depollution and dismantling equipment, alongside the consultants, permitting specialists and financiers who work around them. A free conference programme covers UK policy on Simpler Recycling, extended producer responsibility, emissions trading for energy from waste, and the skills gap in the sector.
