    If you want to find out from international experts the importance of the recovery of technical plastics, such as PC/ABS, and ABS from electrical and electronic waste (WEEE) you cannot miss this workshop!

    You will obtain information on how to reuse up to 80% of this waste in new high added value applications, as well as how to recover up to 80% of substances, such as Sb2O3 and BFR (brominated flame retardants), which are currently not separated from electrical and electronic waste.

    It is a unique opportunity to discuss this problem, as well as the legislation that applies to this sector with representatives of the entire electrical and electronic waste value chain.

    Who is it aimed at?

    • Recyclers
    • Manufacturers of plastic material
    • Compounders
    • Manufacturers of parts for electrical and electronic equipment
    • Equipment manufacturers
