PETCORE EUROPE launched a call for Papers on Innovation to populate the Innovation Session within its ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2026: “The PET Value Chain vs. Full Circularity, in partnership with ICIS”.
During this two-days event we will host a session allowing members and non-members to present their innovative projects. The objective of this initiative is to highlight initiatives which will facilitate implementation of PET circularity and make our industry more responsive to Regulatory and Market changes and challenges.
The submitted innovation papers include the following topics:
- Innovation in relation with Artificial Intelligence (AI) applicable to PET value chain
- Innovations in relation to traceability of recycled content
- Innovations in relation to recycled plastics quality improvement and analysis
- Innovations in relation with collection methodologies
- Innovations in relation with recycled material processing
- Innovations in relation to depolymerization
- Any other topic that strives to improve PET Circularity
During last 2 months we have received a large number of well-grounded papers from various members and non-members that increased the difficulty of choosing only the 5 that are invited to present their innovation projects. Here are the selected papers:
