6 | Plastics Recycling 2015: Analyzing plastics-to-oil opportunities
Member companies of the newly established Plastics-to-Oil Technologies Alliance will grace the stage at Plastics Recycling 2015 to dig deep into the current state of PTO in the recycling landscape.
Is this sector truly on the verge of explosive growth? The American Chemistry Council has stated PTO technology has the power to generate up to $9 billion in annual U.S. economic output, and this session will look into strategies that aim to make such growth a reality.
PTO could be an opportunity to divert millions more tons of non-recycled plastics each year, so this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.
Plastics Recycling 2015 is taking place Feb. 23-25 at the Hyatt Regency in Dallas, Texas. More than 1,775 attendees from 30 countries were on hand at the 2014 edition, and a similar turnout is expected in Dallas. Head to plasticsrecycling.com for all the information on attending, exhibiting and sponsoring.
