Our media partner, The Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI) proudly announces the International Material Recycling Conference & Exposition (IMRC 2026), to be held January 20–22, 2026, at the Novotel Jaipur & Convention Centre in Jaipur, India. This flagship event will spotlight global advancements in recycling, sustainability, and circular economy practices.
Supported by major government ministries and institutions—including the Ministry of Steel, Ministry of Mines, MoEFCC, MeitY, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, MSME, NITI Aayog, CPCB, DGFT, DCPC, and BIS—IMRC 2026 stands as one of the world’s most influential platforms for the recycling sector.
Objective
IMRC 2026 aims to bring together 3,000 delegates from more than 40 countries, including 900+ already registered participants, fostering meaningful dialogue, global networking, and industry collaboration.
The exposition will feature 230 exhibition stalls showcasing cutting-edge technologies, recycling solutions, innovative materials, and supply-chain support systems.
The event will provide a dynamic forum for knowledge exchange, exploring policy and technological developments, and advancing a sustainable global recycling ecosystem. Focus areas include carbon reduction, waste-to-wealth strategies, resource efficiency, decarbonisation, and circularity.
Leadership Message
“IMRC 2026 reflects the growing strength and scalability of India’s recycling ecosystem. As the nation moves toward its Net Zero commitments, the recycling industry plays a pivotal role in driving decarbonisation through reduced material footprints and enhanced resource efficiency. Our commitment is clear—strengthening responsible recycling through policy dialogues, incentives, technological innovation, and environmental compliance. IMRC 2026 unites global leaders, regulators, and innovators to accelerate an economically progressive and environmentally accountable future aligned with India’s long-term climate goals.”
