Call for Abstracts – Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC), 28-29 November 2023, Cologne (hybrid event)

28-29 November 2023 – hybrid event, Cologne (Germany)

Everything you ever wanted to know about advanced recycling technologies and renewable chemicals, building- blocks, monomers, and polymers based on recycling: Hear about it at the Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) 28–29 November 2023, Cologne, Germany (hybrid event). The unique concept of presenting all advanced recycling solutions and related topics at one event will guarantee a comprehensive and exciting conference experience, covering technologies such as extrusion, dissolution, solvolysis, enzymolysis, pyrolysis, thermal depolymerisation, gasification, and incineration with Carbon Capture Utilisation (CCU).

Ambitious recycling targets set by the EU, chemical industry and brand commitments, as well as customer demands are putting enormous evolutionary pressure on the recycling sector. Large shares of non-recycled waste streams on the one hand, and the demand and search for renewable feedstocks for chemicals and materials on the other hand, have stimulated discussions about which technologies are best suited to which waste stream and how to assess their environmental impact.

Advanced recycling technologies are developing at a rapid pace, with new players constantly entering the market, from start-ups to giants and everything in between – new plants are being built or upscaled, new capacities are being achieved, and new partnerships are being formed.

 

To keep track of all these developments is difficult. The Advanced Recycling Conference which will take place over two days in the heart of Cologne, Germany, aims to cut through the clutter of information by providing an overview and in-depth insight into all available recycling technologies for different streams of plastic waste as well as policy topics and environmental impacts. The ARC welcomes technology providers, related industries, waste management companies, brands, investors as well as policy makers and scientists working in the diverse and interdisciplinary field of recycling. By bringing together all relevant topics and experts, the event will provide a framework for new partnerships, ideas, approaches, and value chains.

Speakers will have a unique opportunity to present their latest developments to a broad and relevant audience including exchange and networking with stakeholders along the entire plastics value chain. The conference will cover all new and innovative recycling solutions such as physical processes based on extrusion and dissolution, chemical processes based on solvolysis, biochemical processes based on enzymolysis, and thermochemical processes based on pyrolysis, thermal depolymerisation, gasification and incineration with CCU.
