Where the Whole Industry Flows Together
A dedicated platform for an essential industry
For the first time, Australia's liquid and environmental waste sector has an event of its own.
LEW26 brings waste operators, contractors, councils, utilities, environmental service providers and technology suppliers together for two days of learning, networking and hands-on time with the latest equipment.
Running alongside AUSJET26 creates a natural crossover with high-pressure water jetting, industrial cleaning and infrastructure maintenance, where many businesses share the same pressures around productivity, compliance, safety and workforce shortages.
Who should attend
- Liquid and environmental waste operators
- Vacuum loading and hydro excavation contractors
- Drain cleaning and high-pressure water jetting businesses
- Councils and water utilities
- Environmental service providers
- End users of contractor services
Exhibition hall
Large equipment and hands-on displays from 40+ suppliers across both shows, from liquid waste and wastewater to environmental monitoring, automation and safety.
