Leading experts and professionals from across Europe will gather in Cologne, Germany, for the first Plastics Recycling Technology conference 20-21 June 2017 at the Maritim Hotel. The event, organised by U.K.-based AMI, seeks to address how to recycle more plastics and to add value to reclaimed materials.
In addition to networking, Plastics Recycling Technology 2017 provides analysis and discussion in advances to plastics recycling systems, from sorting and cleaning through to compounding and pelletization. Speakers also examine developments in additives for boosting the properties, appearance, compatibility and processability of recycled plastics and explore ways to improve the quality of reclaimed materials so that they can be used in higher value applications.
The conference opens with a look at developing strategies for adding value through plastics recycling from Stena Recycling International, Erema, Toyota Motor Europe, Wipag and Galloo Plastics.
Attendees will learn about ways of meeting packaging performance requirements from NGR and Aquafil Engineering and advances in technology for recycling of packaging from Ghent University, Axion and European PET Bottle Platform. The programme also features a session focusing on putting recycled plastics to the test with insights from Netafim and EXPRA.
Philips CL, Fraunhofer Institute IVV, Muller-Guttenbrunn Group and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven explore closing the loop for plastics in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
Delegates also will gain insights on the importance of additives in plastics recycling from Baerlocher and Fraunhofer Institute LBF.
The conference closes with a session focusing on getting the most from your plastics recycling lines, including papers from Nextek, Starlinger Recycling Technology, Buhler and Vecoplan AG.
