Discussion on Chemical Recycling of PET
Christian Crepet, Executive Director of Petcore Europe, when opening the conference, said: "Petcore Europe represents the entire PET value chain since 1993. The strength of the organisation is the engagement of over 65 participating members, who are actively participating in working groups and projects."
Stephen Short, newly elected President of Petcore Europe, added: "This engagement of all members, in combination with Petcore Europe's commitment to recyclability and circularity, is a great value for the entire industry. Petcore Europe's growth over the past years is remarkable, in 2018 we could welcome 17 new members, in the first month of 2019, another 10 companies joined the association.”
The next Petcore Europe Conference will take place in the first quarter of 2020. The exact date and place will be announced in the second half of 2019.
