Resource Conference Cymru 2026

Returning to Cardiff in March 2026, Resource Conference Cymru will shine a light on the current status of the resource and waste sector in Wales, from top-level policy discussions, to the practicalities impacting local authorities today. Join us at Sophia Gardens for another unmissable event that promises to equip Wales’ waste and resource leaders with the insights and tools needed to advance the nation’s journey toward a resource resilient future.

Across the days agenda, we will discuss topics from key policies and what they mean for the sector, to highlighting the statistics and roles that have secured Wales' position in global recycling rankings. Panel discussions, inspiring addresses, and solutions workshops will explore:

- Roadmapping the future: how policies like DRS & DWT and technologies like AI support the sector's preparation for the future
- Sustainable inspiration: how the waste and resource sector can learn from other industries building circularity into their operations
- Continuing progressive action: moving beyond recycling into reuse and circular hierarchy, and how England's Circular Taskforce will impact Wales
- Managing supply chains: how Wales can look to optimise materials within waste streams, including plastics, films and aggregates

As industries push for sustainable innovations and solutions to support Wales and beyond, we are excited to bring the sector's leading voices, along with fresh perspectives, together in March, as we mobilise efforts to move Wales beyond recycling with the aim of a zero-waste future.
