Advanced Recycling Conference 2022
The debut of the Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) will take place in a hybrid format on 14-15 November in Cologne, Germany. It aims to provide an overview and in-depth insight of all available plastic recycling technologies. It will focus on different plastic waste streams, environmental impacts, and political topics. The unique concept of presenting all advanced recycling solutions and related topics at one event will guarantee a comprehensive and exciting conference experience, including technologies such as extrusion, dissolution, solvolysis, enzymolysis, pyrolysis, thermal depolymerisation, gasification, and incineration with Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU). With the addressed topics the conference provides a new home for technology providers, related industries, waste management companies, plastic manufacturers, brands, and investors as well as policy makers and scientists active in the versatile and interdisciplinary field of recycling. It is also accompanied by a trade exhibition.
