Pan European Plastics Recycling Exhibition & Conference is announced

Industry body Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE) is strongly supporting the exhibition and will hold its working group meetings, which will be open to non-members, at the PRS Europe event. 

The Plastics Recycling Show will feature a pan European exhibition and multiple conference streams designed specifically for plastics recycling professionals. It will bring together key players from the plastics and recycling sectors in order to learn, network and capitalise on the business opportunities plastic recycling offers.

A broad cross section of the industry will be represented at the event including plastics recycling machinery and equipment suppliers, plastic material suppliers and compounders, handling and logistics services, pre-processors, plastics recyclers, waste management specialists, industry associations and project management consultants.

Holding its working group meetings at the show, Plastics Recyclers Europe’s (PRE) represents approximately 80% of European mechanical recycling capacity and has over 115 members from across the EU. PRE’s mission is to promote plastics recycling in Europe and to create a good business climate for plastics recyclers. The working group meetings gather around 150 participants from the plastic converting and recycling industries and more are expected to participate in 2015.

Brussels is at the heart of EU legislation on plastics recycling with the new Waste Framework Directive being enforced from 2015, making the city’s Tour & Taxis an ideal venue for the Plastics Recycling Show.

Until recently the plastics recycling industry has had a relatively low profile with more than 50 percent of plastics in Europe being sent to landfill every year. PRS aims to change this situation and to put focus on the most pressing issues within the plastics recycling industry.
