Record numbers for PRSE

The Plastics Recycling Show Europe shattered records in Amsterdam with over 500 exhibitors, more than 75 expert speakers, and an all-time high of 13,325 attendees over the two days. “Anyone interested in plastics recycling, whether from politics, science, academia, or active players like brand owners, converters, producers or recyclers, should come to this show, which is now firmly established as the largest in the world,” said Ton Emans, Plastics Recyclers Europe's President.

“I've been here multiple times already, the show keeps growing from year to year, which also makes it more relevant. It's not only relevant from a business point of view, but you can really also get a sense of what's going on in the market right now and what concerns people from a regulatory perspective. I think if you spend one or two days here, you're really up to speed on what recycling plastics in Europe is concerned”, Charlotte Röber, Managing Director of VinylPlus, commented during her visit.

The Plastics Recycling Show Europe brings together key players from the plastics and recycling sectors to showcase innovative technology, share best practices, network and do business. Every part of the circular plastics value chain is represented at the event, including plastics recycling machinery and equipment suppliers, AI-powered sorting technology, plastic material suppliers and compounders, pre-processors, mechanical and chemical plastics recyclers, waste management specialists and industry associations. Plastics Recycling Show Europe returns to Halls 1 and 5 at RAI Amsterdam from 5-6 May 2026.
