2 | SPI Recycling Technology Summit: Learn what's propelling the industry
Plastics players looking for in-depth analysis of the processing innovations and methodologies pushing forward the recycling of key resins can once again turn to a half-day event organized by SPI: The Plastics Industry Trade Association.
SPI is holding its second annual Recycling Technology Summit at Plastics Recycling 2015, taking place next month in Dallas. This unique knowledge-sharing opportunity features five leading plastics recycling executives and will be divided into two sessions: one focused on overcoming recovery barriers, and the other investigating new feedstocks and processing innovations.
Last year's Recycling Technology Summit attracted 150 attendees, many of them compounders and converters, and this year's meeting is expected to garner an even larger crowd.
The SPI Recycling Technology Summit takes place Monday, Feb. 23 at 1 p.m., and it is co-located with Plastics Recycling 2015 at the Hyatt Regency in Dallas, Texas. Find more information and register for the Summit here.
