PlasticsEurope plans to significantly increase investment in chemical recycling: from EUR 2.6 billion in 2025 to EUR 7.2 billion in 2030. To further accelerate investments in this key technology and the transition towards a circular economy, the Association calls for a strong policy and regulatory framework.

1.2 million t of recycled plastics is the industry’s target for chemical recycling in 2025. By 2030, this figure is expected to rise to 3.4 million t per year

European Plastics Manufacturers Invest in Chemical Recycling

The Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE), the pan-European exhibition and conference dedicated to plastics recycling, returns to the RAI Amsterdam, The Netherlands on 4–5 November 2021.

“PRSE has cemented its position as the focal point for plastics recycling in Europe,” said Matt Barber, PRSE Event Director at Crain Communications. “By moving to Hall 12 at the RAI this year, we have been able to accommodate demand for more exhibition space from more exhibitors and expand the floorplan to over 8000 m2.”

Plastics Recycling Show Europe Returns to Amsterdam

From May 3 to 6, 2022, Milan will host Greenplast for the first time, an exhibition/convention dedicated to materials, technologies, and converting processes for plastics and rubber, with a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability, recovery and recycling of materials, and energy efficiency.

The Theme Color of the Show Is Green

Over the last year, the German branch of the Association of Plastics Manufacturers, PlasticsEurope Deutschland, consistently advocated the technology of chemical recycling. Meanwhile, chemical recycling has not only been criticized by environmental organizations but also from parts of the industry. Kunststoffe interviewed Ingemar Bühler, CEO of the Association, about this criticism and the competition between mechanical and chemical recycling. In the interview, Bühler also addresses further requirements for a circular economy with plastics and explains why he considers a label for plastics products a sensible idea.

“There’s No Point in Arguing over Chemical versus Mechanical Recycling”

Full order books make for optimistic outlook, but there is also cause for concern.

At around 60 percent, the EU-27 countries remain the most important customer market for German waste and recycling technology.

Coperion is supplying an extrusion system to Ghent University in Belgium for comprehensive research and development tasks in chemical recycling of mixed plastic waste. The system will also be available to Coperion´s customers for testing.

Due to its intensive dispersion and devolatilization output, Coperion’s ZSK twin screw extruder is extremely well suited for energy-efficient chemical recycling of mixed plastic waste

European Plastics Converters Joins Styrenics Circular Solutions

Styrenics Circular Solutions (SCS), the value chain initiative to increase the circularity of styrenic polymers, welcomed European Plastics Converters (EuPC) as new member.

EuPC is the professional representative body of 55.000 plastics converters in Europe, whose activity embraces all sectors of the plastics converting industry, including recycling.

Their members include national plastics organizations, as well as sector organizations within the plastics converting industry.

Jens Kathmann, Secretary-General of SCS, commented: “We are very pleased to welcome EuPC on board. Converters are on the front line when it comes to our whole value chain’s mission to fulfil the intrinsic circular potential of styrenics. Individual converter companies already make up an important part of the SCS team and it greatly increases our momentum to have EuPC’s participation as we move forward.” Alexandre Dangis, EuPC Managing Director, said: “EuPC welcomes and supports the transition to a stronger and more circular plastics economy where all plastic waste resources are used in a sustainable way. Styrenics are an important part of the plastic industry’s goal to achieve the 2025 European Union recycling targets. Our membership of SCS allows us to further improve our active role in this drive and build on developing additional plastic circular business models in Europe.”
