New Technology in the Recycling Industry

The future of recycling is happening now. 

In the face of dynamic regulatory changes and rising operational costs, the resource recovery industry faces a simple choice: innovation or stagnation. The conference accompanying the Recycling Tech trade fair is a place where theory gives way to practical, technology-driven solutions.

What will we be discussing? 

The conference program is built around the most pressing challenges of modern recycling. We focus on 5 key pillars that will be explored in detail by industry leaders:

  • AUTOMATION, ROBOTICS & AI – From intelligent systems to the robotization of sorting and production lines. We will demonstrate how artificial intelligence is redefining material purity and plant efficiency.
  • CYBERSECURITY – New technologies make our work easier; however, to function effectively, they require large amounts of data, which always involves risks such as cyber theft. Our experts will present best practices for protecting businesses against cybercrime.
  • COST & ENERGY OPTIMIZATION – We will showcase innovations in mechanical engineering that significantly reduce utility and energy consumption, directly improving process profitability.
  • NEW METHODS OF CLOSING THE LOOP – We will explore recycling technologies, critical metals recovery, and solutions for fractions previously considered problematic, as well as best practices for collaboration at every stage of the value chain (industrial symbiosis).
  • DEEP-TECH IN WASTE MANAGEMENT – Transforming waste streams into valuable resources through recycling, critical metals recovery, and technologies for difficult fractions, as well as financing investments in circular economy transformations.
Why shouldn’t you miss it?

Our conference is more than just lectures. It is a platform for exchanging experiences between technology manufacturers and their users. 

  •  Discover the trends that will dominate the market in the coming years. 
  •  Learn how to adapt your machinery and operations to legal regulations and effective market practices. 
  •  Get inspired by case studies that are already generating profits in some of Europe’s most advanced facilities.

We are building a program based on practical solutions and real-world expertise. Be part of an event that combines engineering precision with a business-oriented approach to sustainability.
