The Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE), the pan-European exhibition and conference dedicated to plastics recycling, returns to the RAI Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 10-11 May 2023.
The show, held for the first time in 2017, has since continued to go from strength to strength. This year, for the first time, it will expand into two halls (Halls 11 and 12).
Matt Barber, Global Events Director at Crain Communications commented that the show’s success in 2022 had resulted in record numbers of exhibitors and visitors. This year’s edition looks set to break those records once again.
“We are seeing the event grow even more dramatically this year, with a great mix of both established and first-time exhibitors,” he said.
“The PRSE exhibition and conference is the focal point of plastics recycling in Europe,” says Ton Emans, Plastics Recyclers Europe President. “It is the perfect place to discover all the latest technical innovations and commercial developments, and stay up to date with the legislative landscape for the circular use of plastics.”
The Plastics Recycling Show Europe is specifically targeted at plastics recycling professionals and brings together key players from the plastics and recycling sectors to showcase innovative technology, share best practice, network and do business. A broad cross-section of the industry is represented at the event including plastics recycling machinery and equipment suppliers, plastic material suppliers and compounders, pre-processors, mechanical and chemical plastics recyclers, waste management specialists and industry associations.
A new chemical recycling feature area in Hall 11 will guide visitors through the history of and latest innovations in chemical recycling in a timeline with video displays. The feature area is sponsored by Plastic Energy, Mura Technology and Eastman.
Over 250 companies and organisations from across Europe have already signed up to exhibit including: Berry Global, Bollegraaf, Dijmex Europe, Ettlinger, FIMIC, Interzero Plastics Recycling, Krauss Maffei, Krones, Milliken, Pellenc ST, Starlinger, Suez and Veolia. Poly to Poly is platinum event sponsor, while Axens, BASF, BB Engineering, Eastman Chemical, EREMA, Kraton Polymers, Mura Technology, Neste and Tomra Recycling are silver sponsors.
Conference sessions taking place in two theatres will cover the latest political and legislative developments in plastics recycling in Europe as well as the outlook for energy supply in the EU. Materials focus sessions will explore the challenges, issues and opportunities within the sector for mechanical recycling, covering PET, PVC and Technical Plastics, polyolefin waste streams and polypropylene (PP) recycling.
An annual high point of the show is the announcement of the winners of the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe. The winners in the seven award categories will be revealed on 11 May. This year’s platinum sponsors of the awards are FIMIC SRL and EREMA Engineering Recycling Maschinen GmbH.
