From technology demonstrators to industrial scale-up
When?
20 January 2027 | 10:30 – 16:30
Where?
Brightlands Chemelot Campus, Geleen, The Netherlands
The transition towards a circular composites industry is gaining momentum. Technologies for recycling thermoplastic composites are moving beyond proof-of-concept, opening up new opportunities for industrial scale-up and market adoption.
The NXTGEN Composites Recycling Summit brings together industry leaders, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, researchers and innovators to explore what is needed to turn these developments into commercially viable solutions.
Throughout the day, leading experts will share insights, technologies and real-world examples from across the composites value chain. Technology demonstrators will showcase the latest developments in recycling and processing, while industry presentations will highlight market opportunities, successful applications and the road towards industrial implementation.
From waste stream to circular value chain
Recycling composites requires more than a recycling technology alone. It requires a connected ecosystem in which waste streams, recycling technologies, processing equipment, material developers, manufacturers and end users come together.
The programme will explore current challenges and opportunities in thermoplastic composite recycling, with a particular focus on fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (FRT) and their potential in high-value applications.
Expect inspiring industry perspectives, technology demonstrations and practical examples showing how recycled composites can move from laboratory development towards real-world applications.
