Taking place on 17-18 November 2026 in Cologne, Germany and online, the Advanced Recycling Conference 2026 showcases the latest developments in advanced recycling technologies, recycling-based renewable chemicals, building-blocks, monomers, and polymers. The unique concept of presenting novel advanced recycling solutions and related topics at one event guarantees 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) as well as pre- and post-processing technologies and digital solutions.

The recycling sector faces significant evolutionary pressure due to ambitious targets set by the EU, the chemical industry, brand commitments, and customer demands. On one hand, substantial portions of non-recycled waste streams must be addressed, while on the other, the markets display a growing demand and search for renewable feedstocks for chemicals and materials. Both equally foster discussions on optimal technology selection for various waste streams and methodologies for evaluating their environmental footprint. |
All hands on deck for maximum recycling impact
Keeping track of all these fast-paced developments proves difficult. The Advanced Recycling Conference therefore 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 effective value chains.
Speakers will have a unique opportunity to present their latest achievements to a broad and relevant international audience. To foster exchange, the conference includes plenty of opportunities for networking.
