The National Letsrecycle Conference has been reimagined for 2026 – returning with a new identity and a sharper strategic focus.
The Waste Sustainability & Investment Summit brings together senior leaders from across the UK’s most operationally intensive sectors to address the commercial realities of decarbonisation, waste reduction and circular transformation.
Designed for C‑suite decision‑makers, sustainability leaders and major waste‑producing organisations, the summit explores how businesses can reduce emissions and waste at scale while protecting performance, margins and long‑term resilience.
Across high‑level discussions, cross‑sector collaboration and investment‑focused insight, attendees will examine:
- Turning waste from a cost to a competitive advantage
- Waste prevention through design, forecasting and operational discipline
- Packaging minimisation and circular redesign at scale
- The commercial case for rapid food waste reduction
- Improving recycling performance and tackling contamination
- The future of hard‑to‑recycle materials
- Waste data, ESG reporting and audit‑ready evidence
- Regulatory reform, compliance risk and what’s coming next
- Investment priorities shaping the future of UK resource recovery
The summit also features invite‑only executive roundtables, enabling candid peer‑to‑peer discussion among senior leaders, and concludes with a private drinks reception for focused networking and introductions.
To ensure the day drives real‑world momentum, a tangible output such as an open letter, report or white paper will be produced, capturing key actions and recommendations. This forms the foundation of a new letsrecycle.com Think Tank, supporting ongoing dialogue and industry leadership throughout the year.
