New EU regulations such as PPWR, ELV and WEEE directive are implementing binding quotad for the use of recycled materials in the future. However, it is already forseeable that the demand for recycled materials will exceed current supplies. In addition to technical solutions, the first trading mechanisms are already emerging that could remedy this situation and should be discussed.
IFAT visitors will learn about the upcoming quotas, the available solutions and the oppurtunities and risks that arise.
