ATF PROFESSIONAL VEHICLE RECYCLING CONFERENCE 2026

Auto Recycling
Intelligence

BUY TICKETS

British Motor Museum Warwickshire, UK

There’s nothing artificial about vehicle recycling

There’s nothing accidental about doing it well.

Electrification is accelerating
Battery volumes are rising
Regulations could be changing
AI is reshaping operations
Insurer and OEM strategies are shifting

For vehicle recyclers, the landscape is changing fast — commercially, technically and operationally.

The businesses that lead won’t rely on guesswork. They’ll rely on intelligence: better data, smarter processes, stronger compliance, and clearer visibility of where risk sits and where value is created.

Auto Recycling Intelligence 2026 brings together the full mix of people involved in the lifecycle of a vehicle, from design and manufacture to recovery, repair, reuse and recycling. However you are involved in the life cycle of a vehicle, whether you’re part of a global group, a national operator, or an independent operator, you’ll find insights you can act on.

Expect practical sessions and real-world perspective from OEM leaders, battery circularity experts, policymakers, insurers, financial strategists and AI innovators, all focused on what’s changing, what it means in practice, and what comes next.

If you want clarity, capability and a competitive edge, this is the room to be in.

KEY THEMES:

Future Flows & Market Shifts –

How global manufacturing, OEM strategy and insurer behavior are changing the vehicles coming into the system and what that means for ELV volumes and value

EVs, Batteries & Circular Value –

From safe handling and logistics to reuse, recycling routes and future capacity, making sense of the battery value chain and where ATFs fit

Commercial Intelligence & Efficiency –

Better decisions across the vehicle lifecycle: TCO, salvage and claims trends, and practical AI that streamlines process, reduces cost and protects margin

Complete Auto Recycling Show and Metals Recycling Event

Fuel your pipeline with business opportunities found nowhere else
We are thrilled to announce that the Complete Auto Recycling Show and Metals Recycling Event is relocating to run alongside the Environmental Services and Solutions Expo (ESS) on the 17-18 September at the NEC Birmingham in 2025.
For years, CARS & MRE has been Europe’s leading event for the vehicle recycling, dismantling, and metals recycling sectors. By joining ESS Expo, we’re taking this premier event to new heights, offering unparalleled opportunities for our exhibitors and visitors.
This move combines the strengths of two successful events. CARS & MRE has consistently attracted 1,500 professionals, featuring 50+ speakers and 90+ exhibitors from across Europe. Meanwhile, ESS Expo has been developing the UK’s best environmental stage, seeing 12,000 visitors and 6,000 companies from 58 countries in 2024.
By joining forces, we’re creating a powerhouse event that leverages the best of both worlds, offering an unparalleled platform for the auto recycling, metals recycling, and environmental services sectors.
It’s set to be an unmissable event for anyone working with or selling into the sector in and across Europe.
