WIPAG exhibits together with its sister company ALBIS at this year’s Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE), the leading European trade fair and conference for plastics recycling. On May 10 and 11, 2023, at booth N 13, the recycling company will demonstrate that circular economy is an integral part of the plastics industry and the importance of identifying material streams as new sources of raw materials.
PRSE covers topics across the supply chain, from recycling development, collection, sorting and recycling of industrial, commercial, agricultural, post-consumer and ocean plastic waste, to the development of recycled polymers used in new products and applications.
WIPAG can operate along the entire supply chain, as the focus of its work is on sustainable thermoplastics across all sectors. The main aim here is to initiate materials loops instead of disposing of plastics after the product’s end of life, thus increasing resource consumption. For this purpose, WIPAG identifies material flows and sources of engineering plastics waste from various industries. Using its own recycling technologies – which include process steps such as composite separation and paint removal – WIPAG reprocesses the materials and initiates closed loop solutions for its customers so that the regranulate can be reused in new components, entirely without downcycling.
„We are pleased to be represented at PRSE – as only together we can advance the circular economy and thus tackle the big issues of our time,“ explains Jens Kaatze, CEO WIPAG. “ For us, PRSE is a good opportunity to re-think plastics recycling and to exchange ideas about innovations in the industry.“
