The Women in Recycling 2026 conference and dinner will be held on Friday, March 6, at Birmingham Council House, to mark International Women’s Day. This annual event, organized by women for women, has established itself as a key space for honest and high-level discussion about the current challenges in the recycling sector.

The program focuses on the most pressing commercial, regulatory, and operational challenges, combining practical analysis with lived experiences. The day will include the participation of industry leaders, regulators, and professionals, addressing everything from the viability of export models to the management of compliance risks, facility fires, and regulatory restrictions.

In addition to the technical topics, the conference addresses the personal realities of female leadership, including overload, burnout, and neurodiversity, offering tools to maintain performance without compromising well-being.

Women in Recycling 2026 is aimed at women at all levels of their careers: entrepreneurs, directors, managers, compliance professionals, and newcomers to the sector, as well as those who work in traditionally male-dominated environments and seek connection, clarity, and professional support.

Attendees will gain a clear vision of regulatory risks, greater confidence in decision-making, practical actions to ensure the continuity of their operations, and a solid professional network of women who understand the realities of the sector.

Tickets are now available on the Eventbrite platform, and the conference promises to be an essential forum for those looking to navigate and shape the future of the recycling industry under pressure.
