PCEP Annual Conference brought together all parts of the European polyolefin value chain: brand owners, retailers, waste management organisations, recyclers, converters, producers and other stakeholders.

At the 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM) celebrated in Brussels, the members of the Polyolefin Circular Economy Platform (PCEP) have elected the new Board of Directors, who will run PCEP for a two-year mandate (2023-2025).

We are delighted to announce the upcoming PCEP Annual Conference, which will take place on May 24, 2023, from 10:30 to 13:00 at Le Louise Hotel in Brussels.

The Polyolefin Circular Economy Platform (PCEP) has today announced the appointment of a new permanent Secretary General for the association, effective 1st September.

PLASTIX CEO Hans Axel Kristensen is a member of PCEP’s Innovating for a Circular Economy Working Group, which produced the Enhanced Technical Data Sheet for recycled polyolefins.

The Polyolefin Circular Economy Platform (PCEP) has upgraded its voluntary plastics pledge and commitments after achieving its initial target ahead of schedule.

Danuta Slusarska has been seconded as interim Secretary General of the Polyolefin Circular Economy Platform (PCEP) from Rud Pedersen Public Affairs, while recruitment is underway for a permanent replacement of outgoing Secretary General Venetia Spencer.

With an abundance of product design guidelines available in the plastic industry, how do we know what’s good or bad? PCEP has brought the value chain together and developed three overarching principles for polyolefin design, to provide designers with confidence that the guidelines they use will advance the circular economy.

Gathering the polyolefin value chain together around one table has unlocked a major barrier for the industry’s transformation to a circular economy – the key being a new, enhanced technical data sheet for recyclers.
