EMPOWERING THE TRANSITION TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Introducing ReGen

ReGen was created through the merging of AWRE and Circularity — combining Australia’s longest-running waste and recycling expo with the nation’s original circular economy conference.

Held 23–24 July 2025 at ICC Sydney, ReGen brings upstream innovation and downstream action together — becoming Australia’s first and only expo covering the full circular resource supply chain.

Thank you for coming to ReGen 2025

Thousands of professionals from government, design, manufacturing, recycling and infrastructure came together at ReGen to rethink how Australia designs, uses and regenerates its resources.
