A powerful partnership for global change
As a founding member of ISWA and the National Member representing the UK, CIWM is proud to partner with ISWA to bring the World Congress 2026 to life.

ISWA’s vision is an Earth where no waste exists. Waste should be reused and reduced to a minimum, then collected, recycled and treated properly. Residual matter should be disposed of in a safely engineered way, ensuring a clean and healthy environment. All people on earth should have the right to enjoy an environment with clean air, water, seas and soils. To be able to achieve this, we need to work together.
Imagine a world beyond waste. A thriving and resilient world enabled by the expertise of the professional resource and waste management community. This is our vision at CIWM. As the leading professional body for our community, we enable transformative ideas to come to life. We believe knowledge, innovation and expertise are the catalysts for change and provide world-class events, training and accreditation for professionals across the sector.
The CIWM Group is also home to the Circular Economy Institute, a global network of circular economy professionals. It provides high-quality training, accreditation and knowledge sharing to promote best practice, leadership and collaboration within the circular economy community.
