PRE sets new date for plastics recycling show

Belgium – The annual Plastics Recycling Show Europe – which was postponed in November owing to the security alert in Brussels – has been rescheduled for March 22-23 next year at the new venue of Brussels Expo.

More than 65 companies and organisations will showcase latest advances in European plastics recycling at the event’s exhibition. The conference, meanwhile, will examine a wide range of industry themes including the economics of plastics recycling, the regulatory background, processing, technology and innovation. Conference sessions will also focus on key materials, specifically PET, PVC, HDPE, LDPE and mixed plastics.

‘The release of the EU Circular Economy package makes it a must to attend such an event in Brussels in order to showcase the real potential of plastics recycling in Europe,’ declares PRE president Ton Emans. ‘The PRS Europe initiative will become a reference in our business and I would like to invite all interested parties with an interest in developing our markets to attend the event in March.’

The event is being organised in association with Polymer Comply Europe and is supported by the European Association of Plastics Recycling & Recovery Organisations.
