The Plastic waste is projected to almost triple by 2060 from a 2022 baseline (OECD’s Global Plastics Outlook). There’s clearly a need for increased capacity to deal with existing waste, yet no single technology can address every plastics stream. In order to scale plastics circularity, materials must be matched with the right end-of life solutions, both supply and demand for recycled materials must increase, and increased collaboration is required across the full value chain.
In this panel, we’ll hear from leading recyclers on how complimentary technologies can work together to create scalable circular solutions. Our speakers will assess:
- Feedstocks and end-use applications: Where and how does advanced recycling complement mechanical recycling?
- Regulatory clarity: What’s missing to drive investment in recycling technologies and infrastructure?
- Looking forward: What’s needed to provide brand owners and converters the confidence to incorporate non-mechanical recycled materials in packaging? What innovative solutions are available to help support PCR integration in sensitive applications?
What to expect from this type of session...
Main stage sessions, but not as you know them. Because we’re off-the-record, leading experts can speak candidly about their experience with what works, and what doesn’t. At least half the session is dedicated to audience insights and questions to ensure we tackle the big issues head on.
