E-waste handling and circular economy solutions are accelerating across supply chains. In May 2027 Frankfurt hosts a focused meeting for companies working on IT asset disposition, battery recovery and material processing.
Dates and venue
ITAD & Circular Electronics Expo 2027 takes place from 12 to 13 May 2027 at Messe Frankfurt. The format combines a free-to-attend exhibition with a conference programme that gathers sector speakers and technical sessions.
Key figures and space availability
The event brings together 4,500 attendees and 400 exhibitors. Exhibition space for 2027 is already 70% sold out, a detail that matters for organizations still evaluating participation options.
Exhibitor profile and industry focus
Participants include recyclers, refurbishers, material processors, manufacturers and ITAD service providers. The exhibitor mix covers technologies for separation, refurbishment workflows, battery recycling and metal recovery, reflecting operational needs across the electronics value chain.
This composition makes the expo relevant for procurement teams seeking new equipment, operations managers evaluating processing partners and manufacturers exploring end-of-life strategies for electronic products.
Conference and content highlights
The free conference features international speakers and sessions on regulatory change, recycling technologies and refurbishment strategies. Combining showroom visits with targeted conference sessions offers a practical way to assess suppliers and capture technical insights without a paid ticket.
How to prepare B2B prospecting at the show
-
Pre-select targets. Use the exhibitor list and floor plan to shortlist 15 to 20 companies that match your technical needs and partnership criteria.
-
Time-box meetings. Plan 20-minute slots and group meetings by hall to reduce transit time. With 400 exhibitors efficient routing matters.
-
Bring technical collateral. Provide concise datasheets and a measurable case study. Technical buyers respond to concrete performance and cost metrics.
-
Use the conference to meet decision makers. Identify sessions with speakers relevant to your targets and attend them before scheduled meetings.
-
Consider visibility alternatives. If a stand is not feasible, schedule joint meetings with exhibitors or request introductions. Given that space is 70% sold out, last-minute stand options will be limited.
