We will be present at the Advanced Recycling Conference in Cologne Germany. Come meet us!

Join us for the Advanced Recycling Conference, a premier gathering focused on the latest advancements in recycling technologies and renewable chemicals. This two-dayevent, taking place on November 20–21, 2024, in Cologne, will bring together industry experts, researchers, and innovators to explore the future of sustainable materials.

At this conference, attendees will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn from Experts: Engage with leading professionals and researchers who will share insights into cutting-edge recycling technologies and their applications in various industries.
  • Explore Key Topics: Delve into discussions about building blocks, monomers, and polymers derived from recycling, with a focus on their role in creating a circular economy.
  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with like-minded individuals, potential collaborators, and industry leaders to foster partnerships and share best practices.
  • Workshops and Panels: Participate in interactive sessions designed to deepen your understanding of advanced recycling processes and the impact of renewable     chemicals on sustainability.

Theunique concept of presenting all advanced recycling solutions and relatedtopics at one event will guarantee a comprehensive and exciting conferenceexperience, including technologies such as extrusion, dissolution, solvolysis,enzymolysis, pyrolysis, thermal depolymerisation, gasification, andincineration with Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU).

Ambitious recycling targets set by the EU, the commitments of the chemical industry andbrands, as well as the demands of customers are putting enormous evolutionary pressure on the recycling sector. Large shares of unrecycled waste streams on the one hand are set against the demand and search for renewable feedstocks forchemicals and materials on the other hand, leading to discussions as to which technologies are the most suitable for which waste stream and how to evaluate the environmental impact.

Advanced recycling technologies are developing at a fast pace, with new players constantly appearing on the market, from start-ups to giants and everything inbetween – new plants are being built or upscaled, new capacities are being achieved, and new partnerships are being established.

With all these developments, it is difficult to keep track. The “Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC)“ will take place over two days in the heart of Cologne,aiming to clear up this jungle of information by providing an overview andin-depth insight into all available recycling technologies for various streams of different plastics wastes as well as into political topics and environmental impacts. The ARC will provide a new home for technology providers, related industries, waste management companies, brands and investors as well as policymakers and scientists active in the versatile and interdisciplinary field of recycling. By bringing together all relevant topics and experts, the event will provide a framework for new partnerships, ideas, approaches, and value chains.

Speakers will have a unique opportunity to present their recent developments to a wide and relevant audience including exchange and networking with stakeholders along the whole plastics value chain. All new and innovative recycling solutions willbe covered by the conference such as physical processes based on extrusion and dissolution, chemical processes based on solvolysis, biochemical processesbased on enzymolysis, as well as thermochemical processes based on pyrolysis,thermal depolymerisation, gasification and incineration with CCU.

Topicsof the conference :  

  • Markets, investments and policy
  • Circular economy and ecology of plastics
  • Physical recycling
  • Biochemical recycling
  • Chemical recycling
  • Thermochemical recycling

TheAdvanced Recycling Conference is ideal for professionals from various sectors,including:

  • Industry Leaders: Executives and decision-makers looking to implement advanced recycling solutions in their operations.
  • Researchers and Academics: Individuals interested in the latest scientific developments and technological innovations in recycling.
  • Policy Makers: Government officials and regulators seeking to understand the implications of advanced recycling on environmental policy.


Olivier Cardon, the project coordinator from Michelin, will deliver apresentation titled “WhiteCycle: An Innovative European Project to Process and Recycle PET from Complex Waste.”

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in an essential conversation about the future ofrecycling and sustainability. Mark your calendars for November 20–21, 2024, and join us in Cologne for this impactful event.
