SERI is pleased to announce our collaboration with Trans-World Events to shape the agenda and content for the first-ever ITAD & Circular Electronics Conference & Expo, taking place June 11-12, 2025, at Messe Frankfurt, Germany.

This new dedicated event is the continuing evolution of the E-Waste World Conference & Expo co-located with the Metals Recycling and Battery Recycling Conference &Expos. The expansion of what was historically a track within E-Waste World into its own fourth conference for 2025 is an exciting advancement as the world continues to look beyond traditional electronics recycling and focus on the full spectrum of electronics sustainability.

Said SERI CEO Corey Dehmey, “The path to a truly circular economy depends on extending device lifespans, and we are pleased to once again partner with Trans-World Events to continue the discussion this year within its own dedicated conference. We can’t wait to unveil the full agenda and speakers who will deliver two full days of content all around enabling device longevity. This new conference is designed to engage all the stakeholders who will be championing and leading a sustainable future for electronics.”

The conference will explore critical topics, including data security, repair and remarketing strategies, product design for longevity, and ITAD best practices, with special attention to European regulations and opportunities. SERI CEO Corey Dehmey will be among the featured speakers addressing how we can transform our approach to electronics to create sustainability throughout the entire value chain.

The event includes a FREE Expo alongside the conference programming, providing access to technologies and solutions for electronics sustainability. We encourage the R2 community to attend and take advantage of networking opportunities with a wide range of new and existing partners. The SERI team will be present throughout the event, as well as hosting a booth in the Expo. SERI welcomes the opportunity to connect with attendees about R2 and all our other SERI Programs in Frankfurt.

ITAD & CIRCULAR ELECTRONICS CONFERENCE & EXPO 2025: PIONEERING THE FUTURE OF CIRCULAR ELECTRONICS

11-12 June 2025 | Messe Frankfurt, Germany

Trans-World Events is proud to announce the inaugural ITAD & Circular Electronics Conference & Expo 2025, taking place on 11-12 June 2025 at Messe Frankfurt. As Europe’s first dedicated event for IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and circular electronics, this specialised platform will unite key stakeholders to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in creating a circular electronics economy.

A CLEAR FOCUS ON INDUSTRY NEEDS

The ITAD & Circular Electronics Conference & Expo is designed to intrinsically attend to the needs of the ITAD and electronics manufacturing sectors. From IT hardware leasing companies to data centre operators, electronics repairers, resellers, and policymakers, attendees will benefit from highly focused content exploring: Innovative take-back systems for end-of-life electronics; breakthroughs in refurbishment, reuse, and repair processes; advances in urban mining and material recovery; and cutting-edge ecodesign principles and strategies.

This event is not just an exhibition but a forum for actionable solutions – bringing together 300+ exhibitors, 130+ expert speakers, and 3,500+ industry professionals to knowledge share, build lasting partnerships, and shape the future of sustainable electronics.  Co-located with E-Waste World, Battery Recycling, and Metal Recycling Conference & Expos, this event provides a unique opportunity to access four shows in one venue.

SPOTLIGHT ON PARTNERSHIP WITH SERI

Trans-World Events is thrilled to deepen its collaboration with SERI in launching this event. Over the past six years, SERI’s insights have played a pivotal role in determining the sustainability dialogue at the E-Waste World Conference. This partnership has now evolved to create a dedicated platform for ITAD professionals, recognising the growing importance of ITAD in the circular economy ecosystem.

While recycling remains essential for sustainability, the path to a true circular economy depends on extending device lifespans through repair, remarketing, refurbishing, and designing products for longevity.

KEY HIGHTLIGHTS INCLUDE:

  • Expert contributions from SERI to the conference program.
  • In-depth discussions on global standards and regulatory trends.
  • Showcasing best practices for sustainable IT asset management.

With SERI’s leadership, the ITAD & Circular Electronics Conference & Expo will serve as a hub for impactful discussions and tangible outcomes.

A GLOBAL HUB FOR INNOVATION AND NETWORKING

The ITAD & Circular Electronics Conference & Expo 2025 isn’t just another industry event. With a carefully curated lineup of exhibitors like Extreme Protocol Solutions, DataExpert, and BitRaser; and speakers from SK TES, FIXIT, and ERI, this event is a must-attend for forward-thinking professionals seeking to:

  • Understand evolving market trends and consumer demands.
  • Discover innovations in ITAD and electronics lifecycle management.
  • Network with global leaders across the supply chain.

Attendees will have access to a wealth of expertise, from keynote presentations to hands-on workshops, addressing critical topics such as efficient take-back strategies, repairable product designs, and the latest recycling technologies.
