The 6th China International Recycled Polyester Forum, an event focusing on the recycling of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic, has been scheduled for Sept. 16 and 17, 2010, at the Jinling Jinma Hotel in the city of Hangzhou, China.
The event is being organized by the China Chemical Fiber Economic Information Network (CCFEI), a Chinese consulting company to the plastic and fiber industries. Among the co-sponsors are Dr. Thiele Polyester Technology and PCI PET Packaging, Resin & Recycling Ltd.
“Our forum will provide valuable insights on the PET recycling chain, attract recycled fiber, bottle flake, machinery producers and traders, and exchange ideas on the current market situation and industry focus,” says David Zhong of CCFEI.
Among the topics to be discussed, says Zhong, are the popularity of plastic recycling because of the pursuit of lower carbon footprints; rising PET bottle flake prices; higher taxes, energy and labor costs causing higher production costs to the PET recycling industry; and PET recycling technology advances.
The registration fee for the event is $800 per person. More information on the event can be found at www.ccfei.net.
