The Plastics Recycling Show Europe covers the latest trends and developments in the sector, as well as reflecting on the most recent legislation, challenges and opportunities.
The conference brings together the entire value chain, and aims to promote collaboration and accelerate the transition towards a sustainable and truly circular plastics recycling industry.
The Automotive Circularity Platform (ACP) is a pilot open ecosystem linking collectors of end-of-life automotive materials with users of high-quality secondary materials. It enhances transparency, enables efficient material separation and supports open-market trading.
As a technical enabler for automotive end-of-life recycling, it will support the implementation of the End-of-Life Regulation and drives recycling, regulatory compliance and supply chain resilience.
The Center for Circular Economy in Coffee (C4CEC) is the first precompetitive platform for enhancing the circular economy in the coffee sector.
Coffee production generates substantial biomass at every stage. Instead of becoming waste, this biomass can be turned into valuable products using circular and regenerative agricultural practices. Every part of the coffee plant, from the cherry's skin to the spent grounds, contains unique compounds that are suitable for various industrial applications.
C4CEC aims to make know-how related to circularity in the coffee sector accessible to a diverse group of stakeholders. It will enhance the environmental, social, cultural and economic sustainability of the coffee value circle and offers customised member support for developing ideas.
Come and hear about the Circular Threads 2.0 study which takes stock of circularity in Northern Italy and seeks to apply circular economy principles to the textile industry there.
The EU Green Electronics Working Group brings together representatives from Horizon Europe projects dedicated to promoting greener and more sustainable electronics across Europe. The goal is to enhance visibility and coordination between them and advance green electronics by developing innovative materials, next-generation manufacturing processes and improved recycling techniques.
Poly(L-Lactide) (PLA), a fully biobased aliphatic polyester, constitutes around 30% of global production of biobased and/or biodegradable plastics.
It has attracted significant attention in the last decade due to its exceptional properties, such as high tensile strength, biocompatibility, (bio)degradability in various media, easy recyclability and good melt-state processability by the conventional processes of the plastic/textile industry. PLA has a number of applications, such as packaging and controlled release matrices for fertilisers and pesticides.
This paper looks at how blending PLA with other polymers can improve its shortcomings.
In this webinar, EuRIC will present its EU Plastics Recyclers Roadmap, outlining key actions to foster a more innovative and competitive sector. Industry leaders will also share insights on overcoming challenges and advancing circularity in the plastics value chain.
Are you passionate about sustainability, innovation and tackling the challenges of plastic waste? The Symposium on Innovation in the Circularity of Plastic Materials is your opportunity to contribute to shaping the future of plastic materials.
