PETCORE EUROPE is launching a Call for Papers on Innovation within the PETCORE EUROPE ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2027 in partnership with ICIS.
During our two-days event we will host a session allowing Industry to present their innovative projects. This initiative aims to highlight pioneering solutions accelerating the implementation of PET circularity across the value chain.

Suggested Innovation Topics:
- Artificial Intelligence for Advancing Circularity Across the PET Value Chain
- Traceability and verification solutions for recycled content
- Quality and performance enhancement for recycled PET
- Analytical methods supporting recycled content determination and/or food safety
- Innovative Collection Systems to Increase PET Bottle Collection and Circularity
- Advanced Recycling Technologies to Enhance PET Circularity
- Advanced Depolymerization Technologies to Enable PET Circularity
- Solutions accelerating PET Thermoforms recycling
- Other Innovative Solutions Accelerating Progress Towards Full PET Circularity
The more an innovation supports full PET circularity the more likely it will be selected.
Practical information
- The call for innovation papers is open to all participants
- Submission deadline is the 12th of November 2026
Send a summary of 10 lines max and contact details to maria.trofimova@petcore-europe.org
We will confirm by the 30th of November which innovations will be invited to present at PETCORE EUROPE Annual Conference 2027.
Due to the increasing number of papers received in the previous edition, only a restricted number of papers will be presented during the 2027 Annual Conference.
All the remaining papers will be presented in a Webinar dedicated to innovation in March 2027.
We look forward to receiving your proposals and working together towards a truly circular PET value chain.
