Challenge 2025: End-of-life vehicle ordinance and plastics recycling
The draft EU End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation formulates new requirements for the recyclability, construction and design of new vehicles, particularly with regard to reusability, recyclability, recoverability and the use of recycled content. However, the quantities of recycled plastics are limited and are also in high demand in the packaging industry.

Recyclate as standard - use of PCR in packaging, automotive engineering and medical technology
The use of recycled plastics, in particular the use of PCR, is becoming standard in theRecyclate – Use of PCR in packaging, automotive engineering and medical technology
The use of recycled plastics, in particular the use of PCR, is becoming mandatory in more and more areas. For some industrial sectors, the EU stipulates the use of recyclates, and for more and more companies, the use of recyclates is part of their sustainability and climate strategy. In 2018, Pöppelmann set itself recycling targets for the year 2025 and has since established the use of PCR in many products. Plant pots, automotive products, industrial elements and medical technology products are now made from PCR in series production.

Plastics in agriculture: from take-back to the use of recyclates
While agriculture is one of the most recyclate-friendly sectors with a recyclate share of 37.5 %, other industries such as the automotive industry (4.6 %) and the electronics industry (3.2 %) are still at the beginning. Nevertheless, the question arises as to why only around 300,000 tonnes of the 8.5 million tonnes of plastic consumed annually in Europe are collected and mechanically recycled in the agricultural sector. The presentation will examine the existing take-back systems, operational challenges and the quality of the available recyclates as well as their potential applications. Finally, it will discuss whether this sector has the potential to be a pioneer for closed-loop systems.

Quotas as part of an action plan for a climate-neutral circular economy with plastics
Quotas as part of an action plan for a climate-neutral circular economy with plastics
Ralf Düssel, Chairman of the Board of PlasticsEurope Deutschland e. V., shows in his presentation how the European plastics industry can become climate-neutral by 2050.
He will present the joint action plan of plastics producers in Europe and show concrete steps and measures that companies and politicians need to take now in order to significantly reduce the use of fossil raw materials in plastics production.
The measures include the promotion of circular product design, the expansion of mechanical and chemical recycling, the use of biomass and CO2 as a raw material for plastics production and the introduction of binding recycling quotas.

Panel discussion: NKWS, what now? Competitiveness as a driver for transformation
The National Circular Economy Strategy (NKWS) is intended to set the framework for a strong circular economy in Germany with more recycling and resource conservation. At the same time, however, circular business models also require a competitive industry and functioning markets in order to be successful. The panellists will be discussing precisely this topic: How can German industry be strengthened again? And what does it take to make the transformation towards a circular economy fit for competition?
