Closing the loop on difficult to recycle plastics: Introducing a Quality Recycling Process (Thursday 28 October, 11:00 - 12:30 CEST)

A chicken and egg dilemma in the recycling industry today is maintaining low recycling rates for flexible packaging.

This is linked to the perception that is not possible to have high-quality recycling in flexible packaging and relatively low collection rates, across Europe as a whole.

However, the Quality Recycling Process (QRP) from CEFLEX and stakeholders is capturing new possibilities and economic value from existing technology to change this. Sorting & recycling more - and at a higher value - to drive a circular economy.

In this session:

- Discover key insights from 5 semi-industrial trials and collaborations to produce pouches, shrink films and labels using PE and PP recyclates.

- Learn about the financial analysis and an emerging business case to support investment in infrastructure

- Detect future business opportunities and a wide range of end-market demand for recycled flexible packaging materials

Speakers include:
Dana Mosora, CEFLEX
Kim Ragaert, University of Maastricht
Steven De Meester, University of Gent
Members of the Action Team participating in semi-industrial trials

Followed by an extensive Q&A
