Plastic Recycling & Waste Management Conference

3-4 DECEMBER, 2026
PRAGUE
NH HOTEL

About the conference

event date
DECEMBER 3-4
Join leading experts from the plastics, waste management, circular economy, and packaging industries to explore the latest innovations in plastic waste reduction, recycling technologies, and sustainable materials. The two-day conference will focus on advanced sorting and recycling systems, regulatory developments, extended producer responsibility (EPR), and scalable solutions for reducing plastic pollution across global supply chains.
The program will feature case studies, technical presentations, and policy insights addressing the full lifecycle of plastics—from design and production to reuse, recovery, and end-of-life management.
Network with professionals from industry, government, research institutions, and sustainability-driven organizations in the heart of Europe — Prague, a hub for innovation, collaboration, and environmental progress.
