The Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) 2025 will take place on 19–20 November in Cologne, Germany, bringing together global industry leaders, researchers, innovators, and policymakers to explore transformative recycling technologies. While plastics and polymer recycling remain core themes, this year’s program expands its scope to biochemical, textile, and automotive recycling, alongside AI-driven digital tools for sorting, traceability, and process optimisation.
Europe’s recycling targets and legislative mandates, including higher quotas for recycled plastics in packaging and automotive sectors, create urgent demand for scalable circular solutions. ARC 2025 highlights cutting-edge methods such as chemical recycling, thermochemical processes, carbon capture and utilisation (CCU), and physical recycling, with special sessions on textile sorting, end-of-life vehicle recovery, and sustainable polymers.
International experts from leading companies like BASF, Covestro, Evonik, LEGO, Siemens, and research institutes including Fraunhofer IVV and Chalmers University of Technology will share insights on regulatory frameworks, market trends, and technological advancements.
Supported by sponsors like Siemens, Erema Group, and Starlinger, ARC 2025 offers a platform for collaboration across industries to accelerate the transition toward circular economies.
