National Polymer Recycling Conference 2026
The AXELERA and POLYMERIS competitiveness clusters, in collaboration with the TECHTERA and Team 2 competitiveness clusters, the Strategic Committees for Waste Processing and Recovery and Chemistry and Materials, the PEPR recycling program, and the professional organizations elanova and Polyvia, are organizing the 30th edition of the “Recycling and Innovation Forum” on October 24, 2022, at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris. Team 2, the Strategic Committees for Waste Transformation and Recovery, and Chemistry and Materials, the PEPR recycling program, and the professional organizations elanova and Polyvia, are organizing the third National Polymer Recycling Conference on June 30 and July 1, 2026, in Clermont-Ferrand.
This event, which aims to be THE meeting place for this year's theme, will have the following objectives:
- Present regulatory developments related to polymer waste management and its reincorporation into new products, at the national and European levels.
