The shift to a circular plastics economy can’t happen alone – it requires collaboration across materials, infrastructure, technology, and policy. The RECOUP Summit, sponsored by WRAP and Ecosurety, is where the UK’s plastics community comes together.
On 4 March 2026 in Leeds, leaders, innovators, and decision-makers from across the plastics, packaging, and recycling value chain will gather for a focused day of discussion on the systems, technologies, and partnerships driving circularity in the UK.
Following the success of the 2025 Summit, this year’s event will explore how materials innovation, advanced recycling infrastructure, and AI-driven insights are creating a more resilient, effective circular economy. Attendees will benefit from expert-led breakout sessions, followed by collaborative discussions tackling shared challenges and identifying actionable opportunities.
Session themes include:
- Materials of Tomorrow: Innovation Driving Circular Change
- Rebuilding the UK Recycling System
- AI and the Future of Plastics
Contributors include PepsiCo, Borealis, Enviroo, Reconomy, Sherbourne Recycling, WRAP, Asda, Greyparrot, and other leading organisations shaping the future of recycling and resource efficiency.
With a focus on practical insight and cross-sector collaboration, The RECOUP Summit is your chance to move beyond ambition and start delivering real-world solutions.
