On January 30, 2026, the China National Resources Recycling Association (CRRA) and Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. held a signing ceremony to formalize their strategic partnership. This collaboration marks their joint effort to organize the Circular Resources & Recycling Expo 2026 (CRRE 2026), a flagship event dedicated to the global circular economy that encompasses the entire industry chain in the Asia-Pacific region.
China National Resources Recycling Association and Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. inked an agreement on jointly organizing the China International Resource Recycling Conference & Expo 2026 (CRRE 2026).
Xu Junxiang, President of the China National Resources Recycling Association, noted that the organization, founded in 1992, is one of the largest in China's recycling sector. It actively promotes low-carbon and green development, establishes sustainable supply chains, and advocates for the high-value utilization of recycled materials, all aimed at fostering high-quality growth in the sector.
He believes that the collaboration between CRRA and Adsale will facilitate effective alignment of policy and market resources, providing a strong foundation for the upcoming event.
The CRRA currently covers 22 fields, including end-of-life vehicles, plastic waste, electronics, batteries, low-carbon supply chains, remanufacturing, precious metals, and solar and wind energy. It plays a key role in national policy research and standard setting while upholding a broad industrial network and authoritative leadership in the sector.
In her speech, Rita Chu, Vice Chairman of Adsale Group, emphasized the company's long-standing commitment to the exhibition industry, with over 40 years of experience. As a UFI-certified company, Adsale has built a global agency network that spans 28 countries and regions, hosting more than 50 industry events annually. This wealth of international exhibition expertise and extensive buyer resources will be fully leveraged in collaboration with CRRA, bringing a global perspective and enhanced business matching capabilities to the event.
