16-17 SEPTEMBER 2026 | ICC SYDNEY
ReGen – the evolution of AWRE and Circularity - is Australia’s Resource Recovery Expo. We bring together the waste and resource recovery industry with circular economy innovators, connecting practical solutions with future thinking across every material stream.
ReGen is held annually, and will take place from 16 – 17 September 2026 at the International Convention Centre, Sydney.
ReGen has moved to 16-17 September to align with active procurement cycles when councils and operators are planning budgets and making purchasing decisions. The new timing means the industry will connect when buyers are ready to act.
AWRE and Circularity have evolved into ReGen – a single, strengthened national platform that brings together the best of both events. ReGen maintains the legacy of Australia’s longest-running waste and recycling expo whilst integrating circular economy innovation under one roof.
Yes. ReGen continues to connect practical solutions with future thinking across every material stream – from collection to recovery to what’s next. The event brings together waste management operators, councils, equipment suppliers, processors and circular economy innovators, covering the full spectrum under one roof.
ReGen is a business event open to professionals working across the full resource recovery sector including waste, recycling, resource recovery, product design, infrastructure, and policy. It is not open to the general public. Tertiary students enrolled in a relevant course may attend, provided they hold a valid student ID.

Please be aware that ReGen exhibitors have recently been a target of groups trying to take advantage of the ReGen name and your affiliation with the event.
Some of our exhibitors have received phone calls and e-mails from individuals offering attendee lists and directories from a number of hoax third party companies. Please do not attempt to buy ReGen attendee lists.
ReGen and its official partners/or vendors do not sell, rent or distribute attendee lists in any way, nor do we send e-mails via Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail accounts. All official communication comes from a Diversified Communications Australia email account (@divcom.net.au). Any communication suggesting otherwise is not affiliated with ReGen. We recommend you do not click on any links from e-mails offering these services or from any that look suspicious.
If you have received an email offering a ReGen attendee list, please let us know so that we can take further action against this happening again.
