Plastics Recycling Show Europe
After attracting more entries than ever before in their third year, the shortlist for the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2020 has been published. The winners of the seven award categories will be announced March 26 during the Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE) in Amsterdam.
“The Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2020 have attracted a record number of entries,” remarks Ton Emans, PRE president. “The influx of projects, principally, in the Product Technology from across the whole value chain, including brand owners, raw material producers and machine and equipment producers, is a testimony that there is a genuine commitment from all the actors to make plastics circular. Congratulations to all of this year’s finalists in each category. The standard is higher than ever this year and the judges will have a difficult task to single out the winners.”
