‘Unmissable’ plastics recycling event to welcome record number of exhibitors

Visitor registration has opened for the Plastics Recycling Show Europe. The exhibition and conference dedicated to global plastics recycling returns to Amsterdam, the Netherlands on 19-20 June 2024, bringing together key players from the plastics and recycling sectors from around the world.

First-timers queue up

The event will take place across four halls at the RAI for the first time, featuring a record 450 exhibitors. ‘PRS Europe 2024 is set to be bigger and better event than ever,’ says Matt Barber, events director at Crain Communications. He expects a record number visitors to join from around the world. ‘We have a great mix of long-established and first-time exhibitors with more than 100 companies exhibiting at PRS Europe for the first time this year.’

According to Plastics Recyclers Europe president Ton Emans, it is an ‘unmissable event’. ‘It is the perfect platform to explore cutting-edge technical innovations, track commercial developments, and stay up to date with the legislative landscape for plastics circularity.’

Smart tech, legislation, market forecasts

Conference sessions held across two theatres will cover the latest political, legislative, market and technological developments in plastics recycling. Key topics include the future of plastic recycling in Europe, market forecasts, and in-depth analysis of the EU legislative landscape.

Collection and sorting targets

There will also be sessions on strategies for enhancing and harmonising collection and sorting, verification of recyclability and measures to achieve recycled content targets. In parallel, panel discussions will examine ways to boost the transparent use of plastic, advance plastics recycling globally and explore the complementarity of mechanical and chemical recycling.

Meanwhile, dedicated materials focus sessions will tackle the challenges, issues and opportunities in the recycling of PET, polyolefin films, PVC, HDPE, PP and ELV & WEEE.

The winners of the seven categories at the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe will be announced on 20 June. Visitors can view the innovations by all the finalists.
