This year, the Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) 2024 will expand its scope beyond conventional plastic packaging to address pressing issues like e-waste valorisation, PVC recycling, textile recycling, and advanced recycling techniques for engineering thermoplastics. The conference will also highlight innovative funding strategies essential for these advancements.
ARC is set for 20-21st November 2024, in Cologne, Germany, and online, and will gather industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers to explore groundbreaking technologies and strategies that can reshape sustainability.
ARC is Europe’s largest conference on advanced recycling, with nearly 300 participants from 26 countries attending the 2023 event – a 30 % increase of attendees compared to the year before – ARC has established itself as the largest conference in Europe for advanced recycling. This standing is underlined by this year’s program, with a lineup of 46 speakers, the largest to date. Dedicated sessions will introduce innovative technologies such as dissolution, depolymerisation, pyrolysis and gasification with Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU). They will also discuss policy issues such as the EU recycling targets of up to 70 % for packaging and 55 % for plastics.
ARC 2024 promises invaluable insights into emerging trends and collaboration opportunities in both physical and chemical recycling and serves as a crucial platform for industry leaders, brands, investors, and policymakers to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and explore new opportunities in recycling.
