BPF to host webinar on chemical recycling
The British Plastics Federation (BPF) will be hosting an in-depth online seminar on chemical recycling on 30th June, in partnership with PlasticsEurope.
The webinar will last for around one and a half hours and will include eight experts from across Europe who will examine the current position of chemical recycling within the recycling infrastructure, as well as exploring what the future holds for this technology.
Presenters include:
- James Bull, head of packaging at Tesco, who will talk about the role chemical recycling can play in the future for the UK supermarket.
- Experts from Chemical Recycling Europe who will address the current state of play of chemical recycling across Europe.
- PETcore Europe who will examine PET trends in chemical recycling.
- BASF who will discuss the contribution of chemical recycling to targets.
- Professor John McGeehan from Portsmouth University, who will share the latest developments in enzyme recycling, including the recently discovered enzyme that ‘eats’ plastic. Professor McGeehan will share the full details of this research and explain what it means for the bio-chemical recycling industry.
- Representatives will also be present from Plastic Energy, Recycling Technologies and ReNew ELP.
Philip Law, director general of the BPF, commented: “The BPF is delighted to host this forthcoming webinar on chemical recycling with PlasticsEurope. There is a great need to recycle more to advance towards the objective of a circular economy. Alongside mechanical recycling, chemical recycling will be an essential tool in creating value out of waste fractions which have so far proven difficult to recycle.”
Tickets for this event will cost £49 +VAT for BPF members and £99 +VAT for non-members. You can register for the event and purchase your tickets here.
