From regulation to real-world outcomes: Find us at ESS Expo 2026 on 16–17 September at the NEC, Birmingham
Published: 6 August 2026
This September, we're returning to the environmental sector's premier event, the Environmental Services & Solutions (ESS) Expo. Taking place at the NEC, Birmingham on 16–17 September 2026, the event will bring together more than 16,000 professionals from across the environmental industry.
Building on the success of last year's exhibition, we're significantly expanding our presence in 2026. Alongside more than 700 exhibitors, we'll be showcasing our expertise from across the Group with a much larger stand (CLR-R40, CLR-R50, CLR-S40, CLR-S50) and participating in a series of speaking engagements.
Together, these opportunities provide a powerful platform to share our story, collaborate with industry peers, exchange knowledge, and create valuable new opportunities.
Connecting the environmental industry
The ESS Expo continues to grow year after year and now brings together eight specialist shows under one roof:
Complete Auto Recycling Show (CARS)
Metals Recycling Event (MRE)
What makes the ESS Expo particularly valuable is its unique ability to connect these different sectors within a single event. By bringing together professionals from across the environmental industry, the event helps break down traditional silos, encourages meaningful collaboration, and supports industry-wide discussions on the challenges shaping the future – from AMP8 investment programmes and PR29 preparation to net-zero ambitions and increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
Our integrated approach in action
For the first time, visitors will be able to explore the full capabilities of the Adler & Allan Group in one location, with our consultancy, data and engineering teams coming together under a single stand.
Through hands-on demonstrations and discussions with our experts, we'll bring to life how our joined-up approach helps clients turn complex challenges into practical solutions.
Everything we do follows a straightforward path: regulation → insight → delivery → real-world outcomes.
Complementing our stand, our experts will also take to the stage across several expos to share practical insights on the biggest challenges facing organisations today, including climate resilience, PFAS and emerging pollutants, and strategies for improving asset and infrastructure performance.
