The plastics recycling value chain runs from design for recyclability to using recycled polymer in new products. Within that scope Plastics Recycling Show Europe PRS 2026 takes place on 5 and 6 May 2026 at RAI Amsterdam.
What the show brings to Amsterdam
The exhibition concentrates on recycling machinery, recycled material suppliers and service providers across the supply chain. The event covers design for raw materials, collection, sorting and recycling of industrial, commercial, agricultural, post-consumer and ocean plastics through to recycled polymers incorporated into new applications. Major names in recycled materials and recycling equipment present technical solutions and product innovations.
Program highlights
The conference program gathers industry speakers addressing opportunities and challenges for plastics recycling in Europe. The show features a textiles recycling area, live sessions and on-demand streams, and an awards program that recognises notable industry initiatives. Social events and curated features run alongside the exhibition floor.
