ORGANISERS of the Plastics Recycling Show Europe have revealed the tenth edition of the show attracted over 11,500 attendees in Amsterdam earlier this month.
Visitors had the opportunity to meet over 500 exhibitors and hear from more than 70 industry leaders in the conference.
Jessika Roswall, European commissioner for environment, water resilience and a competitive circular economy, delivered the opening keynote before participating in a roundtable discussion with CEOs of 11 companies across the plastics recycling value chain.
“One message came through clearly: there is no circular economy without plastic recycling — and no competitive circular economy without a strong and resilient European recycling industry,” she said after the event.
Ton Emans, president of Plastics Recyclers Europe, added, “Commissioner Roswall’s engagement and ongoing support are a testament of the increasing recognition of the needs of the European plastics recycling value chain by policymakers. Levelling the playing field to make our industry competitive requires open dialogue and ongoing collaboration between the industry and European institutions.”
International dignitaries to attend included Shri. Siddhesh Kadam, chairman of the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board, who has also spoken at PRS India in Mumbai, and H.E. Ambassador of Indonesia for Netherlands L. Amrih Jinangkung.
“The tenth anniversary edition of PRS Europe felt like a real turning point for the industry after what has been a difficult year for the sector since our last show,” said Matt Barber, global events director at Crain Communications. “We received great feedback from exhibitors and visitors alike. There is no better place to discover what is possible today and in the future with the latest plastics recycling technology and solutions.”
Plastics Recycling Show Europe returns to RAI Amsterdam from June 29-30, 2027.
