IdentiPlast 2019

IdentiPlast 2019 is the European benchmark event for plastics waste recycling and recovery.
​
This conference will bring together plastics value chain actors (producers, converters, recyclers) and other stakeholders (policy makers, public authorities, waste management bodies, academia, NGOs, …) from all corners of the world for a full two-day conference to discuss “Plastics, Sustainability and Society” . The event will also feature trade exhibitions, a networking dinner and the opportunity for a one-day tour of recycling facilities in the London area. IdentiPlast 2019 will provide the audience with a forum where experience and know-how for identifying, sorting, recycling and recovering plastics from different waste streams will be shared.
