Crain Communications, the organizer of the Plastics Recycling Show Europe exhibition and conference, which was postponed in November in light of the security alert in Brussels, have rescheduled the event for 22-23 March 2016 at Brussels Expo. The event is co-located with the Working Groups sessions of Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE), which will be open to the public. Those interested in registering can do so at www.prseventeurope.com.
The Plastics Recycling Show will feature a Pan-European free-to-attend exhibition and a conference designed specifically for plastics recycling professionals. More than 65 companies and organisations will showcase the latest advances in European plastics recycling at the event’s exhibition. The conference will examine a wide range of industry themes, including the economics of plastics recycling, the regulatory background, materials, processing, technology and innovation. Working group chairman of Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE) also will lead conference sessions focusing on key plastic materials, specifically PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), HDPE (high-density polyethylene), LDPE (low-density polyethylene) and mixed plastics.
Steve Crowhurst, managing director of event organiser Crain Communications, says: “We have moved as quickly as possible to reschedule the event and very much appreciate the support we are receiving from our partners, speakers, exhibitors and visitors.”
The Plastics Recycling Show brings together key players from the plastics and recycling sectors to showcase innovative technology, share best practices, network and do business, according to Crain Communications. A broad cross section of the industry will be represented at the event, including plastics recycling machinery and equipment suppliers, plastic material suppliers and compounders, preprocessors, plastics recyclers, waste management specialists and industry associations.
Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE) is supporting the exhibition and is organising the conference in conjunction with Plastics Recycling Show Europe Crain Communications.
“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,” says Ton Emans, PRE president. “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 2016.”
The event is organised in association with Polymer Comply Europe, a service provider for the plastics industry specialising in EU legislation. It is also supported by EPRO, the European Association of Plastics Recycling & Recovery Organisations, the Pan-European partnership of organisations committed to increasing efficient plastics recycling and recovery. Other industry bodies supporting the event include European Plastics Converters, Petcore Europe, Recovinyl, PlasticsEurope, Federplast, FEBEM-FEGE and Vinyl Plus.
