ESS Expo 2024 event programme
ESS Expo, the UK’s largest environmental event, has released its full agenda for its 2024 show.

The 2024 edition will follow three core themes to address some of today’s most pressing and pertinent environmental challenges – net-zero, the circular economy, and biodiversity – with various features and events designed to explore innovative solutions and strategies to address each of these challenges.

Rob Mowat, Managing Director of ESS Expo, said:
The UK’s green transition and commitments to achieving circularity requires one thing – collaboration. The huge efforts and strides needed to achieve the new government’s Green Prosperity Plan is not something that can be done alone.
We will combine five unique sectors in one, uniting leaders and experts leading the way in delivering a circular economy, reduced net-zero emissions, improved sustainability, and biodiversity conservation. Collectively, they will provide attendees with a 360° view of the industry, with ESS also providing unrivalled knowledge exchange and networking opportunities.
