The Awards for Excellence are judged by an independent panel of senior sector experts drawn from across the industry. A shortlisting or a win carries genuine credibility with clients, partners and peers — it is independent validation of the work your organisation is doing, not a paid-for accolade.

From local authority partnerships and collection crew of the year to AI and technology, circular economy success and rising talent - there is a category built around the work you actually do. Browse the full 2027 category list to find the best fit for your entry.

There is no entry fee for any category, regardless of the size of your organisation or the scale of your project. If the work meets the criteria, we want to see it.

The Awards for Excellence ceremony brings together the recycling and waste management sector's most influential organisations and individuals for a full afternoon at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House, Park Lane, London. Whether you win or not, being announced as a finalist in front of that room is a moment your whole team will remember - and a marketing asset in its own right.

Choose your category, write a maximum 500-word entry with supporting evidence, and submit via the online form. Most entrants complete their entry in an afternoon. If you are unsure which category fits your work, email us at conferences@roarb2b.com and we will point you in the right direction.

A shortlisting is something a whole team can point to long after the ceremony. It is recognition that goes beyond a trophy on a shelf - it gives your people something to be proud of, and something to shout about to clients, stakeholders and the wider industry.
