The webinar "Innovative technology as applied in post-consumer and post-industrial plastic recycling" on August 4^th, 2022 at 2:00 PM (GMT+8, Singapore Time) focuses on the important role of advanced melt filter technology to achieve highly efficient and more profitable plastic recycling. This event gathers leading experts who will share their insights on relevant market trends and technologies that will shape Asia's plastic recycling landscape.

Topics at the webinar:

1) Plastic waste management and recycling industry developments
2) Plastic recycling systems for post-consumer and post-industrial materials
3) How automatic melt filter can enhance plastic recycling
4) The difference between automatic and manual melt filter
5) The types of materials that can be processed using the latest automatic melt filter
6) Success stories on how recycling systems work to meet customers’ requirements

The plastics industry around the world has been actively pursuing the goals of a circular economy and key to this is the adoption of plastic recycling. Industry analysts are giving a positive outlook for this industry. The global recycled plastics market is projected to grow from US$27.9 billion in 2021 to US$43.5 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2021 to 2026, according to ResearchAndMarkets.com.

Initiatives to promote the use of recycled plastics in developed countries are on the rise.  The US Environmental Protection Agency's EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) indicators for electronic products, as well as Japan's PC3R (Household PC recycling; Office PC recycling; PC Green Label) environmental label specify the requirement of "Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic Material," that is, products must use recycled plastic materials.

While Europe and North America have manifested growing sentiment for environment protection encouraging the development of more sophisticated plastic recycling systems, Asia continues to lag behind in adopting more advanced plastic recycling systems despite the growing awareness of Asian companies on circular economy. Asian companies implementing plastic recycling that meet today’s global standards should begin with exploring today’s technological advances in this industry. 

K Show 2022: Focus on Circular Economy

Much has been said on how the plastic industry has embarked on a journey towards achieving a circular economy. At K 2022 in Dusseldorf, Germany, the biggest plastics exhibition will once again focus on innovations in both materials and processing systems to enhance plastic recycling, integrate recycled plastics into the production of new products and many other initiatives.

FIMIC exhibition at K 2022 is located in Hall 9, Booth No.: B35, where almost all European recycling machines (shredding, washing, pressing, filtering) are situated.  For more information about K 2022: Circular Economy, click here.
