During the two-days event a session will be hosted allowing Industry to present their innovative projects. This initiative aims to highlight pioneering solutions accelerating the implementation of PET circularity across the value chain.

Suggested innovation topics:

Artificial Intelligence for Advancing Circularity Across the PET Value Chain
Traceability and verification solutions for recycled content
Quality and performance enhancement for recycled PET
Analytical methods supporting recycled content determination and/or food safety
Innovative Collection Systems to Increase PET Bottle Collection and Circularity
Advanced Recycling Technologies to Enhance PET Circularity
Advanced Depolymerization Technologies to Enable PET Circularity
Solutions accelerating PET Thermoforms recycling
Other Innovative Solutions Accelerating Progress Towards Full PET Circularity

The more an innovation supports full PET circularity the more likely it will be selected.
