Conference Programme
As an increasing number of companies
across the supply chain make commitments to creating a circular economy for plastics,
there is a growing realisation that more than just the current mechanical
recycling techniques will be needed to bring about significant change.
Chemical recycling, although not a
silver bullet, has come to the forefront as a solution to improve plastics
circularity by increasing recycling rates and lowering carbon emissions. Many
companies have made commitments to developing chemical recycling but high
levels of investment, lengthy scale up processes and lack of supporting
legislation have proved stumbling blocks to considerable advancement.
AMI’s Chemical Recycling 2021
Conference will address the various challenges and opportunities in the
chemical recycling market and bring together experts from across the supply
chain to discuss the latest trends and developments in this dynamic market.
Key areas of focus include global
market trends, the variety of technologies, outputs and processes available,
and how the industry can work together to integrate chemical recycling into the
waste hierarchy as a viable process on an industrial scale. This conference will be a fantastic opportunity to
engage with key industry players at an event that encourages discussion, debate
and ideas sharing.
In addition to the two-day programme the conference includes
plenty of networking opportunities, an exhibition area
and evening drinks.

Remember that if you cannot attend an event then you can always send a colleague in your place at no charge.
