Letsrecycle Live and Demo Expo return to Stoneleigh Park
Organizers announce full exhibitor list and speaker line-up at next month’s event
TAKING place at the National Agricultural and Exhibition Centre (NAEC) in Stoneleigh Park, near Coventry, from 15–16 September, Letsrecycle Live and Demolition Expo are the UK’s showcase exhibition and conference events for the demolition, waste and recycling industries.
The biennial trade show was due to be held in May 2021, but with the uncertainty around the holding of events in the first half of the year, the organizers Environment Media Group and National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC) pushed the co-located Letsrecycle Live and Demo Expo shows back to September.
The event is free to attend with six sector specific zones – Plant & Machinery, Materials Village, Collections & Transport, Waste & Professional Services, Demo Expo and Energy & Alternative Fuels – stretching across indoor and outdoor areas.
According to the organizers, this year’s expanded Letsrecycle Live 2021 edition will be bigger, better and more collaborative than the previous show in 2019. Outdoor space has increased by 50% which includes the Trucks in Action Arena and the new and improved, 360-degree Live Demonstration Area.
As one of the highlights of the show, the Live Demonstration Area will give visitors the opportunity to see some of the latest plant machinery and processing equipment operating in their intended working environments. Machines being showcased will include: material handlers; wheel loaders; shredders; trommels; and dust-suppression systems.
Across both days of the show, there will be a huge, informative programme of seminars taking place at five conference theatres, as well as a host of networking events and opportunities for attendees to share knowledge, ideas and create new business contacts.
More than 100 confirmed speakers will provide insights into the ongoing challenges facing waste-recycling operators – giving waste, sustainability and resource professionals a chance to hear the latest developments and updates on the ever-changing recycling and demolition industry.
Some of the high-calibre speakers participating in the conference programme will include: Richard Dolman, IDE (Institute of Demolition Engineers) president and chief executive officer of AR Demolition; Adam Read, president of CIWM (Chartered Institution of Wastes Management); David Banks, waste manager for JCB; and Ben Griffiths, safety, health, environmental and operations director for Rye Demolition.
Next month’s co-located Letsrecycle Live and Demo Expo show will be the first of two dedicated, large-scale events for the UK waste-recycling, demolition and sustainability sectors to take place in two years.
‘There’s been fantastic support for the show from exhibitors and the wider sector, and we are really thankful for that,’ said event director Ali McQueen. ‘We can’t wait to get back out in September and see the industry reconnect after so long apart.’
