AGENDA
Post-Industrial and Post-Consumer Waste Differentiation and the Opportunities Within Your Facilities
Doug Shebesta, Sales Manager, Circular Economy – West & Nick Williams, Applications Engineer, Vecoplan
As the emphasis on circularity and the circular economy continues to grow, often driven by new regulations, it is becoming more critical for plastics processors to adopt sustainable practices in their operations. One effective way to achieve this is through reclaim operations, where scrap material is reintroduced into the production process instead of being discarded. By incorporating these methods, plastics processors can reduce waste, lower costs, and contribute to a more sustainable industry, aligning with the increasing regulatory focus on environmental responsibility.
