Closing the loop in a circular plastics economy

The transition from fossil fuels to sustainable raw materials

We will have a macro overview of the materials transition, implementation of lower-impact ways to produce materials and the application of circular economy principles to optimise the use and reuse of these materials.

Ensuring availability of plastic waste feedstock

Waste for feedstock recycling. What are the challenges and opportunities in waste collection, sorting & pre-treatment efficiency for mechanical and chemical recycling.

Mechanical or chemical recycling or both?

While mechanical recycling has its limitations, chemical recycling is at its beginning. In this session participants will discuss and focus on how both chemical and mechanical recycling can help in a transition to plastics circularity.

The role of biobased polyments in the circular economy

Biobased plastics can play a vital role in a sustainable circular economy. Biobased plastics can contribute to lowering greenhouse gas emissions and the demand for fossil fuels. What promising developments are happening in biobased materials?

Digitalisation as driving tool towards plastic circularity

Blockchain-enabled tokenization, traceability, digital passports, marketplaces and more.
