The European benchmark event for plastic waste recycling
and recovery
IdentiPlast 2017will be arriving inAustria’s capital city, Vienna,
on 22 and 23 February. This European benchmarking event for
plastic waste recycling and recovery will focus on how coun-
tries in central and southeast Europe can best benefit from
the latest experience in Europe and other parts of the world in
order to improve their own waste management practices and
infrastructure. In parallel, IdentiPlast 2017 will also be provid-
ing a forum to showcase the “life cycle thinking” approach for
the appropriate management of plastic waste.
This two-day event features expert speakers from the US,
Turkey, Japan and Europe presenting their experiences and
learning in plastic waste management, and how best practice
can be applied to different European regions to increase the
recovery of plastic waste and prevent it to being landfilled.
IdentiPlast 2017 will comprehensively deal with plastics recov-
ery, starting with collection and sorting while touching the
economical, legislative, political and societal framework, re-
use solutions, recycling and the provision of recycled plastics
into the market.
The conference will be of particular interest to local authori-
ties and municipalities from across Europe, policy makers,
waste management organisations, plastics recyclers, manu-
facturers, converters and compounders as well as academia,
research institutes and NGOs.
