Why EBRC?
As the world grapples with the dual pressure of technological advancements and sustainability goals, the urgent need to address e-scrap and end-of-life battery proliferation has never been more critical.
The Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, is emerging as a global leader in shaping a sustainable future. However, the challenges of e-scrap management remain a concern. Addressing this challenge requires innovative recycling solutions, robust policy frameworks, and cross-sector collaborations.
The Electronics & Battery Recycling Confex is the region’s premier event dedicated to addressing these critical issues. Organized by Waste & Recycling and hosted by Media Fusion, it unites industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers to explore cutting-edge technologies, foster collaborations, and drive solutions that shape the GCC’s recycling ecosystem.
Why attend EBRC?
The inaugural Electronics & Battery Recycling Confex in Dubai, in 2023, brought industry leaders together to address critical challenges like regulatory gaps, infrastructure needs, and safety concerns, fostering impactful collaborations.
The 2nd edition, held in Riyadh, aligns with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and its leadership in sustainability. This year’s event focuses on Saudi-specific advancements in recycling and battery technologies, reflecting the nation’s growing investments in lithium and other material production and circular economy initiatives. Against this background, the event will set the stage for collaborative partnership to tackle e-waste.
