Taking place on 20-21 November 2024 in Cologne, Germany and online, the Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) 2024 highlights the latest innovations in recycling technology. The event provides a collaborative platform for industry leaders, innovators, and policy makers to discuss advanced recycling solutions and related topics, preparing industries for recycling quotas of up to 70 % for packaging materials and 55 % for plastics. With an impressive increase of almost 30 % to nearly 300 participants from 26 countries in 2023, the Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) has established itself as the leading event for innovation in recycling in just one year. Being a playground for the recycling key players, ARC 2024 aims to build on this success and foster dialogue by building a bridge between physical recycling and chemical recycling.

Future focused attendees now have the opportunity to stay ahead of the curve in recycling technology and secure their early bird tickets profiting from a 20 % discount till July 16th 2024.

Off to uncharted lands: sneak peak into the Advanced Recycling Conference’s ongoing evolution 

Participants can expect to gain a comprehensive status quo on recycling solutions and in-depth insights from confirmed speakers and experts:

Pelin Uran (DePoly, CH) on chemical recycling of polyester-based products into monomers.

Jan-Willem Muller (Infinity Recycling, NL) providing insights from an investor's perspective.

Richard von Goetze (Interzero, DE) discussing evolving feedstock specifications in the circular economy.

Gonzalo Izquierdo (Blueplasma Power, ES) sharing insights on turning waste into CO2-free hydrogen and Circular Carbonates.

Annick Meerschman (Cefic, BE) leading discussions with industry experts.

Emmeline Aves (Reventas, UK) presenting solvent-based purification of PE, PP, and ReVentas technology.

While the Advanced Recycling Conference 2023 left participants inspired and motivated to strive for new and best possible recycling solutions, the 2024 edition aims to build on this success and expend its umbrella. All introduced technologies will demonstrate that industries can successfully incorporate smart solutions, effective recycling methods, and renewable material into their processes and hereby close the carbon loop for a sustainable future. Advanced recycling not only offers recycling solutions for difficult waste streams, but also presents a key source for a variety of renewable raw materials. It hereby secures the renewable carbon supply for the chemical and materials industry at large, with plenty more developments laying ahead of it.
