This cross-border event on 15 September 2022 will focus on chemical recycling, a trending topic that is likely to play a crucial role in making the chemical industry both circular and climate neutral.

It will explore the latest developments and innovations and discuss how cross-border collaboration can foster a circular plastic sector. This event is free of charge and follows up on the online NL-NRW event on chemical recycling held on 8 October 2020.
