A Dynamic Gathering of Innovation, Sustainability, and Industry Leadership
WasteExpo continues to set the standard as North America’s leading event for waste, recycling, organics, and sustainability, uniting the public and private sectors for over 50 years.
This year brought together more than 14,000 industry participants, all driving progress across the waste and environmental services industries. From thought-provoking discussions on sustainability and cutting-edge technology to insights into evolving trends in fleet management and infrastructure, the energy at WasteExpo was a powerful reminder of how innovative and collaborative this space truly is.
For Catalyst, the value was in the conversations…with haulers, operators, executives, and investors alike. Leaders from across the industry shared the belief that the waste industry remains resilient, even in the face of economic uncertainty.
Highlights included:
- Big Ideas, Bold Investments. At the Waste360 Investor Summit, top executives, investors, and industry leaders explored the financial forces shaping the future of waste and recycling, with a strong focus on innovation, growth, and strategic capital deployment.
- Hauler Power Panel: Operational Challenges & Opportunities. This session provided an in-depth look at the modern-day realities of running a hauling business, from workforce management to navigating regulatory and logistical complexities.
- What is My Company Worth (…and What Should I Do Now to Make it Worth More)? A compelling conversation that unpacked the key drivers of company valuation. Perspectives from operators, legal experts, and financial advisors offered actionable strategies to maximize enterprise value and position businesses for long-term success.
The Catalyst team is grateful for the meaningful conversations and the connections made (and strengthened) throughout the event.
