Free online registration has now opened for the Plastics Recycling World Exhibition 2018, which will take place on 27-28 June 2018 at Messe Essen in Germany.

By registering in advance, visitors will receive free admission to both the Plastics Recycling World Exhibition 2018 and the Compounding World Expo 2018, which will take place simultaneously in adjacent halls at Messe Essen and will feature more than 160 leading suppliers. They will also receive free entry to three conference theatres hosting technical presentations, educational seminars and business debates. In addition, there will be a networking party on the evening of 27 June.

“The event will provide anyone involved in the collection, recycling and re-use of plastics with a great opportunity to learn about the latest developments in this critically important and dynamic industry,” said Rita Andrews, Head of Exhibitions at AMI. “Attendees will meet leading suppliers from around the world, and also hear from business leaders and technical experts in the conference theatres.” Speakers lined up for the plastics recycling conference sessions include influential representatives from companies such as Axion Polymers, Coca-Cola, Galloo Plastics, Müller-Guttenbrunn, Nextek, Plasper, RPC-BPI, Suez, Veolia, and WIPAG.

Topics being covered in the free debates and presentations at Essen will include: market analysis; regulatory issues; developing the circular economy; improving the properties of recyclates; sorting and separation technologies; PET recycling; odour reduction; legacy additives; and the future for recycling plastics from packaging, vehicles and electrical and electronic equipment.

The exhibitions, which will occupy Hall One and Hall Two at Messe Essen, will feature a wide array of plastics recyclers, plus suppliers of machinery, ancillary equipment, raw materials and additives for improving the quality and properties of reclaimed polymers.
