The meeting will feature tours on November 7 of Sun Fiber, an international manufacturer of PET staple fiber fill, and WEIMA, an international manufacturer of industrial shredders and briquetting presses. The tours will conclude with a reception hosted by WEIMA at their biergarten.

On November 8, come prepared to hear the latest developments in plastics recycling. You’ll enjoy a full day of presentations and networking on the latest changes in plastics processing and end-use, technology, best practices in identification, chemical recycling, and market trends. The CPRC meeting is open to recycling/solid waste professionals, haulers, collectors, plastics processors and recyclers, end-users, MRFs, recycling equipment sales, and other related organizations who are supply, produce or use recycled plastic materials. This is a great opportunity to network with new contacts and renew friendships with those you haven’t seen in a while.
