Visitor registration has now opened for the Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRS Europe). The global exhibition and conference dedicated to plastics recycling in Europe and beyond returns to the RAI Amsterdam, The Netherlands on 19-20 June 2024. The event will take place across four halls at the RAI (Halls 9-12) for the first time, featuring a record 450 exhibiting companies and organisations.
“PRS Europe 2024 is set to be bigger and better event than ever and we expect a record number visitors to join us from around the world at the RAI, Amsterdam this summer,” says Matt Barber, Global Events Director at Crain Communications. “We have a great mix of long-established and first-time exhibitors, with over one hundred companies exhibiting at PRS Europe for the first time this year.”
“PRS Europe is an unmissable event for the industry in Europe, attracting each actor of the plastics recycling value chain,” says Ton Emans, Plastics Recyclers Europe President. “It is the perfect platform to explore cutting-edge technical innovations, track commercial developments, and stay up to date with the legislative landscape for plastics circularity.”
Conference sessions held across two theatres will cover the latest political, legislative, market and technological developments in plastics recycling. Key topics will include the future of plastic recycling in Europe, market analysis and forecasts, and in-depth analysis of the EU legislative landscape. The programme will also include sessions on: strategies for enhancing and harmonising collection and sorting, verification of recyclability and measures to achieve recycled content targets. In parallel, panel discussions will examine ways to boost the transparent use of plastic, advance plastics recycling globally and explore the complementarity of mechanical and chemical recycling. Dedicated materials focus sessions will tackle the challenges, issues and opportunities in the recycling of PET, polyolefin films, PVC, HDPE, PP and ELV & WEEE.
The winners of all seven award categories at the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2024 will be announced at the event on 20 June and all finalists will be showcased in the exhibition.
