INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON PLASTICS RECYCLING

Objectives

The valorisation and recycling of plastics is currently the greatest challenge of implementing the circular economy model that allows the use of waste as a starting material. The recycling and, in general, the valorisation of plastic waste is currently the greatest challenge of implementing the circular economy model that allows the use of waste as resources such as new, more sustainable raw materials.

In this Seminar we address the current challenges and opportunities relating to the management and recycling of plastic wastes, as well as raising awareness of all the initiatives that have been put in motion on an international level in order to advance the marked objectives at a European level.

Distribution of thematic sessions

• BLOCK 1: CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND RECYCLED PLASTICS

  Global vision is an economic circular strategy and its relationship with recycling plastics. We talk with administration representatives and associated companies of the sector.

• BLOCK 2: IMPROVEMENTS AND INNOVATION IN THE COLLECTION AND SELECTION OF WASTE

  Developments of new teams of recognition and selection of waste. Systems of contact tracing and related artificial intelligence.

• BLOCK 3: MECHANICAL RECYCLING: INNOVATION AND TRENDS

  Solutions to the mechanic recycling of plastics which will be through technology, additives, and the production of materials.

• BLOCK 4: CHEMICAL RECYCLING: INNOVATION AND TRENDS

  Solutions to chemical recycling of plastics using technology like thermal cracking, biological cracking, solvolysis/depolymerisation or physical recycling.

• BLOCK 5: PROBLEMS AND BIG CHALLENGES OF RECYCLING

  Solutions to the biggest challenges of recycling, multi-layered packaging, fibre reinforced thermosets, elastomers, pneumatic, outside the use of polyurethanes, among others.

• BLOCK 6. ADVANCED TECNIQUES TO IMPROVE RECYCLING
