Developing the Recycling of the Future From textiles and PVC to digital solutions and engineering thermoplastics.
The Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) 2024 scheduled for 20-21 November 2024, in Cologne, Germany, and online, program that tackles some of the most pressing issues in recycling technology. In keeping with this year’s recycling of plastic packaging, conference will spotlight additional urgent topics such as E-waste valorisation, PVC recycling, textile recycling, and the utilisation of advanced recycling for engineering thermoplastics. Another key focus will explore advanced recycling through the lens of investments and funding strategies.
Participants will have the opportunity to explore a comprehensive range of recycling technologies, including extrusion, dissolution, enzymolysis, solvolysis, pyrolysis, thermal depolymerization, and carbon capture and utilization combined with gasification (CCU). The program also includes discussions on pre- and post-treatment technologies and digital innovations that are shaping the future of recycling.
Designed to address the ambitious EU recycling targets, ARC 2024 will focus on achieving the recycling quotas, e.g. achieving up to 70 % recycling quotas for packaging materials and 55 % for plastics. The conference serves as a crucial platform for industry leaders, brands, investors, and policymakers to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and explore new opportunities in recycling.
ARC has had a 30% rise in participation, with approximately 300 people from 26 countries signing up for the 2023 event, building on its quick success. In order to build on this momentum, the 2024 edition intends to encourage closer cooperation between specialists in chemical and physical recycling. Attendees will gain essential insights into how emerging trends and technological advancements can address the sector’s evolving demands while aligning with sustainability and regulatory goals.
Up to September 10, 2024, early bird tickets are currently available at a 10% discount.
