    Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.

    Weather

    Late November in Lyon is cool and often overcast: daytime highs around 9 to 11C, nights near 3 to 5C, and roughly 9 to 12 rain days across the month, sometimes with mistral-driven wind that makes it feel colder. Frost is possible on clear nights, and rain tends to arrive in showery spells rather than all-day downpours, so a compact umbrella and a waterproof layer cover most transfers between hotels and Double Mixte. All halls are indoor, but the walk from the tram stop, car park or nearby hotels is exposed.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    EU SIM cards roam at domestic rates across France under EU roaming rules, so visitors from other member states can use their existing data plan; check fair-use limits if you plan heavy tethering on the stand. French prepaid SIMs and eSIMs from Orange, SFR, Bouygues and Free are sold at Lyon-Saint Exupery, Part-Dieu and city-centre shops, with 4G and 5G coverage dense across Lyon and Villeurbanne. Venue Wi-Fi availability and passwords at Double Mixte are set by the organiser or venue, so confirm on arrival and plan a mobile hotspot for live demos. France uses Type E sockets at 230V (Type C plugs also fit), so bring an adapter for UK, US or Swiss plugs.

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Language on the floor

    French is the working language of the waste sector and of most stand conversations; the organiser publishes its site in French and English. Open with 'bonjour' before a question, and ask in advance for English-speaking staff if your French is limited.

    Greetings and pace

    A handshake on arrival and departure is standard in French business settings, with surnames and company roles exchanged early. Meetings start with a short introduction rather than straight product talk, and pushing immediately into price can close a conversation down.

    Lunch hours

    French lunch runs roughly 12:00 to 14:00 and many local businesses slow down in that window. Staff your stand through it, since visitors often use the quieter hour to talk to exhibitors, and book restaurant tables in Villeurbanne or Cité Internationale ahead if you are hosting.

    Tickets and tipping

    Validate every TCL ticket on boarding; inspectors do check and fines are issued on the spot. Service is included in French restaurant bills, so a small rounding up is enough for taxis and cafes.

    Registration and security

    Carry photo ID to collect your badge and keep it visible in the halls. Arrive early on the first morning of 25 November 2026 to clear registration and security without missing an opening session.

    Practical guides

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Book to Lyon-Saint Exupery (LYS), the region's main scheduled airport, and avoid tight connections on the evening of 26 November since Wednesday and Thursday departures from Lyon fill quickly in the pre-weekend business window. Direct services from major European hubs are the simplest option; travellers from cities without a direct link should route through a hub with a protected connection rather than self-connecting. Add the Rhonexpress ticket (approx. EUR 16 to 17) or a taxi (approx. EUR 50 to 70) to your budget for the airport to city leg, and keep a rail alternative via Paris Part-Dieu in reserve if flights sell out. Fares quoted elsewhere on this page are planning bands only, so confirm live prices before purchase.

    Visa

    Whether you need a Schengen short-stay visa for a two-day business visit to Lyon depends on your nationality; the France-Visas business-trip page lists the applicable cases and required documents.

    Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.

    Apply through France-Visas and your local French consulate; bring an invitation or registration confirmation from Waste Meetings for the business purpose if requested.

    Official

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Use the nearest international airport serving Lyon; Metro, train or taxi links are typically available to the venue district.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Double Mixte: Approx. 940 m from Double Mixte: QUICK'HOT BY GTS; Villeurbanne, approx. 1.4 km from Double Mixte: ibis budget Lyon Villeurbanne; Caluire / Cité Internationale, approx. 1.5 km from Double Mixte: B&B HOTEL Lyon Caluire Cité Internationale.

    Ride-hail: Uber and Bolt both operate across Lyon and Villeurbanne, and are widely used for short hops between Part-Dieu, the Cité Internationale hotels and Double Mixte. At Lyon-Saint Exupery, use the designated app pickup zone rather than the taxi rank; from Part-Dieu, a ride to the venue typically costs roughly EUR 12 to 20 and takes 10 to 20 minutes depending on traffic. Expect surge pricing during the morning opening rush and after conference sessions end, and keep a TCL ticket as a fallback when the app shows long pickup times.

    Public transit: Double Mixte sits in Villeurbanne and is served by the TCL network: metro line A to Charpennes plus tram and bus connections into the Villeurbanne and La Doua corridor, with the exact stop nearest the venue picked out by the TCL journey planner. A single ticket costs approximately EUR 2 and a 24-hour pass approximately EUR 6, both loaded on the same card or app and validated at the start of each journey. Allow 20 to 30 minutes from Part-Dieu and 25 to 35 minutes from central Lyon, plus buffer on the first morning of the show when trams and platforms are busier. TCL services run late into the evening, but check the last connection if a conference dinner runs long.

    Parking: Double Mixte has on-site parking, which is the practical option for exhibitors and for visitors carrying equipment or samples. Plan on approximately EUR 8 to 15 per day and confirm current rates, access hours and whether spaces can be pre-booked with the venue or organiser before travelling. Arrive before the halls open on 25 November 2026, as the car park fills first on opening morning, and note that the nearby hotel car parks are for guests. If you are delivering stand material, request a loading-bay slot and check build-up access times in the exhibitor manual rather than arriving unannounced.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: November 2026

    Temperature: Approx. 3 to 5C at night and 9 to 11C by day, with frost possible on clear nights (November averages for Lyon)

    Seasonality: November is one of Lyon's wetter months, with roughly 9 to 12 rain days, often as showery spells rather than sustained downpours; overcast skies dominate and wind can make the walk from tram or car park feel considerably colder than the thermometer suggests.

    Packing: Pack layered business wear with a warm mid-layer, a waterproof outer shell and a compact umbrella for the 10 to 20 minute walks between the Villeurbanne hotels and Double Mixte. Comfortable waterproof shoes matter more than formal ones on wet days, and a scarf or light gloves help on early starts; halls are heated, so choose layers you can remove quickly once inside.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)

    Mid-show days at Waste Meetings 2026 usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.

    T-14

    Register on wastemeetings.com and confirm whether your pass covers the exhibition only or also the conference sessions published at wastemeetings.com/en/schedule.

    T-14

    Book a flexible hotel in the Cité Internationale, Caluire or Villeurbanne cluster, all within roughly 1 to 1.5 km of Double Mixte, and check the cancellation terms for late November travel.

    T-12

    Write down the three sourcing questions you want answered - for example a stream to divert from landfill, a sorting-line upgrade or a collection-round redesign - and list the exhibitor categories that can answer them.

    T-10

    If you need a Schengen short-stay visa, start the France-Visas application now; business invitations from the organiser take time to issue.

    T-10

    Prepare a one-page waste data brief: tonnages by stream, current contracts and end dates, sorting performance and your diversion target. Suppliers respond far better to numbers than to general interest.

    T-7

    Plan the airport transfer. Rhonexpress connects LYS to Part-Dieu in about 30 minutes, then TCL metro and tram cover Villeurbanne; a taxi direct to the venue takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes.

    T-7

    Download the TCL journey planner and buy or load a TCL ticket option; a single ride is around EUR 2 and a day pass around EUR 6, so a pass usually pays off on a two-visit day.

    T-5

    Check the conference timetable and mark clashes; two days is short if the sessions you need run in parallel with stand meetings.

    T-3

    Check the forecast. Late November in Lyon typically means 4 to 11C with a real chance of rain, so pack a waterproof outer layer and shoes suited to walking between halls and hotels.

    T-2

    Confirm any taxi, rideshare or parking booking if you are bringing samples or stand material to Double Mixte.

    T-1

    Charge devices, save the venue address and your hotel address offline, and set out photo ID for badge collection at the entrance.

    Day 1

    Arrive at opening to walk the hall before the aisles fill, then use the afternoon for conference sessions once you know which suppliers need a second conversation.

    Day 2

    Convert conversations into written follow-ups before you leave: request quotes, technical data sheets and reference site visits while the stand team is still on site.

    T-14

    After the show: Send follow-up emails within five working days with your tonnages and specifications, and log every contact by waste stream so procurement can act on it.

    FAQs & glossary

    Answers

    Frequently asked

    What is Waste Meetings in Lyon and who is it aimed at?
    It is a two-day waste and circular-economy trade meeting at Double Mixte in Villeurbanne, in the Lyon metropolitan area. The audience is professional: local-authority waste and cleanliness departments, collection operators, sorting and treatment plant managers, recyclers, industrial waste producers, eco-organisations, engineering consultancies and equipment suppliers.
    When exactly is the 2026 edition?
    The dates in the event record are 25 and 26 November 2026, a Wednesday and Thursday, at Double Mixte, Villeurbanne. Confirm opening hours on wastemeetings.com before booking travel, since the schedule page is the organiser's authoritative source.
    Is the show trade-only or can anyone walk in?
    Waste Meetings is a business event for the waste and recycling sector rather than a public fair, so expect badge-based registration with professional details requested. Check the registration page on wastemeetings.com for the exact conditions and for whether conference sessions are included in the visitor pass or booked separately.
    How do I register and what does the badge cover?
    Registration runs through the organiser site, wastemeetings.com, and the conference programme is published at wastemeetings.com/en/schedule. The site is the only reliable place for pass categories and opening times, so treat third-party listing pages as indicative only.
    Which airport should I fly into and how do I reach the venue?
    Lyon-Saint Exupery (LYS) is the main gateway, roughly 25 to 30 km east of the city. Take the Rhonexpress tram-train to Part-Dieu (about 30 minutes) and continue by TCL metro and tram to Villeurbanne, or take a taxi directly to Double Mixte in roughly 30 to 45 minutes. Geneva (GVA) is an alternative for travellers from Switzerland or the Alps, with a longer onward trip of about 2 hours.
    Where should I stay near Double Mixte?
    The practical cluster is Cité Internationale, Caluire and Villeurbanne, with several hotels roughly 0.9 to 1.5 km from the venue, including Hôtel des Congrès by Arteloge, B&B HOTEL Lyon Caluire Cité Internationale, ibis budget Lyon Villeurbanne and QUICK'HOT BY GTS. All are walkable in about 10 to 20 minutes, which removes the need for a daily taxi.
    Is there parking at the venue and what does it cost?
    Double Mixte has on-site parking, which matters if you are carrying samples, literature or demonstration equipment. Daily rates are set by the venue and should be confirmed directly with the organiser or the venue before you travel; a budget of roughly EUR 8 to 15 per day is a reasonable planning assumption.
    What topics do the conference sessions cover?
    Expect the programme to follow the show floor: collection and separate collection schemes, sorting-line performance and recycling markets, biowaste and methanisation, energy recovery, landfill diversion and waste traceability. The dated programme is at wastemeetings.com/en/schedule, and sessions are the place to check wording of regulatory obligations as they apply to French operators.
    What language are the sessions and stands in?
    French is the working language of the French waste sector and the organiser publishes the site in French and English. Assume most conference content is in French, ask exhibitors for English-speaking staff in advance, and check with the organiser whether interpretation is offered for any session you specifically need.
    Can I exhibit or sponsor at the 2026 edition?
    Exhibiting and sponsorship enquiries go through the organiser via wastemeetings.com. Stand prices, availability and the technical manual are not published in third-party listings, so request the exhibitor pack directly and budget for French electrical, handling and insurance requirements once you have the stand contract.

    Glossary

    1
    EPR (REP, responsabilite elargie du producteur)
    Extended producer responsibility: the French principle that companies placing packaged, electronic, textile or furniture goods on the market fund and organise their end-of-life collection and recycling through approved eco-organisations. At this show it frames who pays for collection schemes and what traceability data producers must supply.
    2
    Separate collection at source (collecte separee)
    Collection of a waste stream kept apart from residual household or industrial waste so it can be recycled or treated - paper and packaging, glass, metals, biowaste, textiles. Collection rounds, bin capacities and truck specifications for these streams are core exhibit categories.
    3
    Biowaste (biodéchets) and methanisation
    Food and green waste collected separately and treated by composting or anaerobic digestion (methanisation), which also produces biogas. French rules on separate biowaste collection have driven demand for bins, collection vehicles, digesters and compost quality control.
    4
    Sorting centre / MRF (centre de tri)
    A plant where mixed recyclables are separated by ballistic, magnetic, optical and manual sorting into saleable material streams. Sorting-line upgrades, optical sorters and line optimisation studies are a recurring theme for visitors at waste trade meetings.
    5
    ISDND (installation de stockage de dechets non dangereux)
    The French classification for a non-hazardous waste landfill. Because landfilling is being squeezed by diversion targets and landfill taxes, visitors compare treatment and recovery options here against the cost of continued disposal.
    6
    Energy from waste (valorisation energetique, EfW)
    Recovering heat or electricity from waste that cannot be recycled, typically through incineration with energy recovery or solid recovered fuel. Relevant to operators weighing recovery routes against landfill or biological treatment.
    7
    SRF (CSR, combustible solide de recuperation)
    Solid recovered fuel: a prepared, calorific fraction produced from non-recyclable waste and burned in cement kilns or dedicated plants. Its specification, sampling and quality control are technical topics in treatment and sorting projects.
    8
    Mechanical-biological treatment (TMB)
    A combined process that mechanically separates mixed waste and biologically stabilises the organic fraction, reducing what is sent to landfill and producing compost-like output or biogas depending on the configuration.
    9
    Waste tracking register (registre de suivi des dechets, BSD)
    The French documentation trail for hazardous and other regulated waste movements, increasingly handled through digital platforms. Traceability software, weighbridge integration and compliance reporting are part of the digital exhibit scope.
    10
    Household waste centre (dechetterie)
    A civic amenity site where residents drop bulky, green, electronic and hazardous household waste. Layout, containers, access control and resale areas for reused goods are typical equipment topics for local-authority visitors.
    11
    Eco-organisation
    A state-approved body that collects EPR fees from producers and contracts collection and recycling operators. Eco-organisations shape tender specifications, so meeting them on a show floor is often as useful as meeting equipment suppliers.
    12
    Circular economy (economie circulaire)
    Keeping materials in use through repair, reuse, remanufacturing and recycling rather than disposal. At this event it is the framing theme linking collection design, sorting performance and recycled-content markets.
