Rethinking Plastic
Recycling technologies
Technological innovation to accelerate the circularity of plastics
3 june
Recycling has becoming a key component of the shift towards a more circular, efficient and competitive plastics industry. This seminar will analyse the different technologies and strategies that are transforming the management of plastic waste, from advanced mechanical recycling to chemical recycling and eco-design. The technological, regulatory and market-related challenges set to shape the future of recycling and the recovery of materials will be addressed by means of real-world case studies, sectoral insights and industrial experiences.
We’ll discuss…
- New mechanical and chemical recycling technologies applied to complex plastic waste
- Innovation and eco-design to improve the recyclability of packaging and products
- Solutions for recovering waste and procuring high-value secondary raw materials
- Sectoral strategies to enhance the competitiveness and circularity of recycling in Spain
- The role of SCRAPs and the value chain in transforming plastic waste into an industrial resource
It will be attended by...
- Industrial companies and recyclers specialising in advanced recycling and plastic recovery technologies
- Manufacturers and companies in the packaging and automotive industries that are driving circular solutions through innovation in materials and design
- Technology centres, sectoral associations and innovation platforms linked to recycling and the circular economy
- SCRAPs, sectoral organisations and key players in the plastics value chain that are working on new waste management and recovery models
