This symposium brings together leading German and Japanese companies, research institutions, and public-sector stakeholders in recycling and waste management to exchange practical insights and identify opportunities for collaboration. The program will showcase solutions supporting the circular economy—resource efficiency, waste reduction, and sustainable materials management including advanced separation systems, waste-to-energy infrastructure, eco-industrial zones, plastic recycling strategies, urban mining, and disaster waste management. Designed with business dialogue in mind, the symposium offers a platform to connect with peers, explore partnership potential, and discuss the policy and technology trends shaping the market.
The symposium aims to deepen bilateral exchange and support concrete cooperation by connecting decision-makers and experts from government, academia, and industry in Japan and Germany.
Held within the framework of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) Market Entry Program, the symposium is tailored for organizations and businesses from the circular economy, active in recycling, waste management, and environmental technologies. It is part of a business delegation of German SMEs visiting Japan from June 8 to 12, 2026, and is designed to facilitate targeted exchange and potential partnerships with Japanese stakeholders.
