We are pleased to invite you to Recycling and Beyond, A systemic approach to mixed plastic recycling.

Since 2022, 21 consortium partners from five European countries have collaborated on developing a systemic approach to mixed plastic recycling. During this closing event, we will reflect on the achievements of the EU Horizon Syschemiq project and share key insights on advancing circular plastics systems.

Join us to explore how collaboration across the entire value chain can accelerate the transition towards sustainable and circular plastics.

  • A demonstration of how strong regional and European collaboration drives innovation in plastic recycling.
  • Inspiring demos, debates and lectures covering the latest recycling insights and cross-sector collaboration models.

Key topics include:

  • Pre-treatment and pyrolysis technologies
