The BIR Plastics Committee has invited two Dutch industry experts to give their view on various aspects of the recycling markets. One speaker is Pieter Kuiper, project manager Post-Shredder Materials for Auto Recycling Nederland. He will look at plastics recycling from the auto recycling industry in The Netherlands. Kuiper has 10 years of recycling experience. He is involved in the realization of ARN’s 100 kiloton/annum post-shredder processing line. With a fellow processing engineer, he is jointly responsible for securing markets for the products yielded by this post-shredder process. These products include mixtures of mineral materials and mixtures of plastics. Kuiper specializes in finding markets and finding processing routes for ‘difficult’ streams of material. Second guest speaker is Ed Flohr, an independent industry expert and investor in high-tech firms. Until the middle of this year, Flohr was VP of the Management Board of Royal Lankhorst Euronete Group bv, a company active in the production and sales of ropes, technical yarns, fish netting, yachting products and recycled plastic products worldwide. His topic is titled "Flexibility – the core competence of a recycler".
