Capturing the Recycling Industry’s Leading Conferences
Case Study:

The Challenge
Resource Recycling is a trusted voice in the recycling and sustainability industry, publishing insights and hosting three of the most important annual events in the sector:
E-Scrap Conference
Resource Recycling Conference
Plastics Recycling Conference
Each year, these conferences bring together thousands of professionals, thought leaders, and innovators from across the U.S. and around the globe. Resource Recycling needed a partner who could consistently capture the energy, thought leadership, and networking impact of these events — year after year — to promote future conferences, grow attendance, and provide valuable educational content to members unable to attend in person.

The Solution
For more than a decade, Resource Recycling has partnered with Big Wave Productions to deliver high-quality, impactful conference coverage that goes beyond basic documentation.
Our approach includes:
Promo & Recap Videos: Fast-paced, visually compelling highlight reels showcasing keynote speakers, educational sessions, exhibit halls, and networking events — perfect for promoting next year’s conference.
Speaker & Attendee Interviews: Professional interviews with industry leaders and attendees to highlight trends, insights, and the value of participation.
Professional Event Photography: Capturing keynote moments, candid networking shots, and sponsor visibility to create a full library of usable marketing assets.
Long-Form Multi-Camera Seminar Videos: Filming complete sessions using multiple cameras, capturing both speakers and audience interaction. These videos are edited and delivered for Resource Recycling to host online, extending the value of their content and allowing members to access education year-round.
Big Wave has filmed Resource Recycling’s events across multiple U.S. cities, seamlessly adapting to different venues, schedules, and production needs while maintaining a consistent, professional look and feel.
