Chemical recycling has in the last few years come to the fore as a tool toaddress the growing waste plastics problem due to its ability to handlewhat has previously been considered “difficult to recycle” plastics. It hasgarnered interest from across the industry, from petrochemical companies,waste management, machinery producers and brand owners. Many announcementsof commitments to develop chemical recycling have been made, although highlevels of investment, lengthy scale up processes and lack of supportinglegislation have proved stumbling blocks to considerable advancement.
AMI’s Chemical Recycling 2021 conference will build on the knowledge gainedin the 2020 virtual event, and further explore the challenges andopportunities in the chemical recycling market. Presentations will look attechnologies, outlooks, regulations and how the industry must work togetherto close the loop and bring about a fully circular economy that includeschemical recycling as a major contributor to increase recycling rates andlower carbon emissions.
In addition to industry presentations, the conference includesopportunities for extended discussions and idea sharing. Delegates will beoffered unrivalled opportunities to network, exchange experiences and learnthrough interaction with key representatives from all areas of therecycling value chain. This conference is a must-attend for anyone wishingto stay up to date on the latest developments in the dynamic market ofchemical recycling.
