Pressure to achieve circularity forces technical and commercial choices across the plastics value chain. Against that backdrop, two days at Messe Frankfurt gather recyclers and compounders to surface workable solutions.
Practical details for the 2026 edition
Plastics Recycling World Expo Europe 2026 runs on 23–24 September 2026 at Messe Frankfurt. The exhibition is free to attend according to the organiser and provides an exhibitor floorplan and registration options on the official site.
Companies and market segments on the floor
The show brings together mechanical and chemical recyclers, compounders, and suppliers of processing equipment. Exhibitors and speakers include additive producers, converters and technical organisations focused on standards and recycled content.
Programme highlights and confirmed speakers
Exhibition activity runs alongside sessions in two theatres with technical presentations and product updates. Confirmed speakers listed include representatives from Nexam Chemical, MAAG Group, Hosokawa Alpine and Fraunhofer LBF, as well as figures from Plastics Europe and AIMPLAS.
Key figure for the exhibition
The official exhibitor count records 28 companies on the show floor. The event is organised by AMI Applied Market Information Ltd and will take place at Messe Frankfurt.
Actionable prospecting tactics for recycling and compounding
- Prepare technical datasheets that list mechanical properties, recycling content percentages and processing parameters you can share electronically.
- Target prospects by end use. Create tailored pitches for packaging, automotive, flexible films and technical parts to focus conversations.
- Schedule meetings in advance. Use the exhibitor list and theatre programme to request specific technical discussions and limit exploratory visits.
- Bring cost and compliance comparisons. Have clear metrics on cost per kilo and regulatory alignment that influence purchasing decisions.
- Set a concrete follow-up plan. Agree on timelines and a first deliverable so leads can move toward pilot trials or material evaluations.
Closing note and where to register
If your aim is to secure material trials or identify scalable compounding solutions, build a programme focused on technical meetings and application examples during the two days.
