Organisers of leading UK waste management and recycling exhibition RWM have today (Thursday 15 September) launched a new exhibition - in India.

Called RWM India, the new exhibition will take place at the Pragati Maiden exhibition centre in New Delhi from 14 to 16 May 2013.

The announcement comes as part of an agreement between RWM organiser Emap and Mack Brooks Exhibitions Ltd.

RWM in partnership with CIWM event director Gerry Sherwood said: "With an urban population of approximately 285 million and a rapidly developing economy, India is emerging as one of the most important markets in the world for resource and waste management."

Exhibitors at this year's RWM in partnership with CIWM will be able to find out more about the new international venture, register their interest as a potential exhibitor and receive a free market report on the state of the Indian waste management sector by visiting the sales office on stand F14 in hall 19 at RWM in partnership with CIWM on Thursday 15 September.
