Plastics Recycling & Circular Economy Conference and Showcase |
|
|
In recent years, plastics recycling has accelerated under policy, technology, and market forces. The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) requires all packaging to be recyclable with recycled content by 2030, while restricting PFAS. Meanwhile, demand for high-quality Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) materials is rising, supported by advances in mechanical and chemical recycling, intelligent sorting, and digital tracking systems. Against this backdrop, the 2026 CHINAPLAS X CPRJ Forum on Plastics Recycling & Circular Economy will spotlight circular economy policies, applications of recycled and green materials, and intelligent recycling technologies, convening brand owners, recyclers, suppliers, and manufacturers to explore low-carbon innovation and industry trends.
