Meet RLG at the 2025 Canadian Waste to Resource Conference

June 17, 2025 9:00 am

RLG is excited to announce its participation in the 2025 Canadian Waste to Resource Conference (CWRC) on June 17–18 at the Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Hosted by Waste to Resource Ontario (W2RO), CWRC is the must-attend event for professionals leading the charge in waste management, resource recovery, and circular economy innovation. With more than 60 expert speakers and over 400 delegates expected from across North America and Europe, this year’s conference is set to drive impactful conversations and spark meaningful connections.

Visit Us at Booth #3

RLG will be exhibiting at Booth #3, side-by-side with our trusted industry partner, Call2Recycle Canada.

A highlight at our booth will be the LiSa Box – an innovative, proactive solution for safer handling, storage, and transport of lithium-ion batteries. As battery use continues to rise across industries and many end up in the waste stream, the LiSa Box represents a critical step forward in addressing challenges around end-of-life and damaged, defective, and recalled (DDR) lithium-ion battery logistics.

Shaping the Conversation

CWRC offers a platform for collaboration – and RLG is ready to engage. We look forward to connecting with waste management stakeholders from across the sector to share insights, discuss trends, and explore solutions shaping the future of extended producer responsibility (EPR), materials recovery, and lithium-ion battery safety.

Whether you’re focused on regulatory compliance, circular solutions, or have other pressing questions, stop by our booth to see how RLG is driving progress – and how we can partner with you to do the same.
