The Go Circular Summit is a business-focused event where industry leaders come together to address the core challenges for plastics recycling. It covers the entire circular value chain of plastics, from brand owners to recycling companies, including the latest regulatory updates.

The plastics industry is undergoing significant changes driven by new regulations, including the Global Plastics Treaty and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. Go Circular 2025 will address these developments through collaboration and knowledge exchange in key areas:  

• Sustainable design: Exploring innovative design principles to minimise waste and enhance recyclability 
• Advanced recycling technologies: Highlighting cutting-edge solutions for chemical recycling and efficient plastic processing
• Circular economy strategies: Developing closed-loop systems and responsible resource management
• Policy and regulation: Examining the impact of new regulations and exploring collaborative solutions.

There'll be debates, networking sessions, speeches, a startup village and a guided site visit of the Shell Chemicals Park Moerdijk.

This year's event will feature leading brand owners including Adidas, Estée Lauder, Henkel, Lego Group, Mattel, Michelin, Mondelez, Nike and Aldi Süd (one of Europe's largest retailers), alongside (petro)chemical manufacturers such as Neste, BASF, Dow and Eneos. Leading recycling technology providers - Interzero, Tomra, SYNOVA and Lummus Technologies, BlueAlps - will share their latest developments. The European Commission, Alliance to End Plastic Waste, UNESDA and EXPRA will discuss how industries are adapting to a circular future.

Go Circular 2025 will take place on 4-6 March in Rotterdam. The event will be in English and in person. This is a paid event.
