Advanced Recycling Conference 2024: New Focus Areas and Innovative Program Announced
Shaping the Future of Recycling From PVC and Textiles to Engineering Thermoplastics and Digital Solutions.
The Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) 2024 scheduled for 20-21 November 2024, in Cologne, Germany, and online, will feature an enhanced program that tackles some of the most pressing issues in recycling technology. Along the recycling of plastic packaging this year’s 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 gasification with Carbon Capture and Utilisation (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.Building on its rapid success, ARC has seen a 30 % increase in participation, with nearly 300 attendees from 26 countries joining the 2023 event. The 2024 edition aims to expand on this momentum by fostering deeper collaboration between experts in both physical and chemical 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.
Early bird tickets are now available, offering a 10 % discount until 10 September 2024.
