Designed to address the ambitious EU recycling targets, ARC 2024 will focus on achieving the recycling quotas, e.g. achieving up to 70 % recycling quotas for packaging materials and 55 % for plastics. The conference serves as a crucial platform for industry leaders, brands, investors, and policymakers to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and explore new opportunities in recycling. Building on its rapid success, ARC has seen a 30 % increase in participation, with nearly 300 attendees from 26 countries joining the 2023 event. The 2024 edition aims to expand on this momentum by fostering deeper collaboration between experts in both physical and chemical recycling. Attendees will gain essential insights into how emerging trends and technological advancements can address the sector’s evolving demands while aligning with sustainability and regulatory goals.
