CARS Complete Auto Recycling Show & MRE Metals Recycling Event

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.

Meet and network with 2,000+ vehicle dismantlers, authorised treatment facilities, vehicle salvage yards, used car spares and parts traders, metal recyclers, scrap metal merchants, ferrous & non-ferrous processors, brokers, transporters and more.
