Visitor Registration Now Open For PRSE 2026
Visitor registration has opened for PRSE 2026, the 10th edition of the Plastics Recycling Show Europe. The global exhibition and conference dedicated to plastics recycling in Europe returns to the RAI Amsterdam, The Netherlands on 5-6 May 2026. Jessika Roswall, Commissioner for Environment, Water Resilience and a Competitive Circular Economy at the European Commission will be the conference’s keynote speaker. Over 450 exhibitors from across Europe and the wider world will fill the RAI’s two premier halls 1 & 5. Two feature areas will highlight textile recycling and practical applications of AI technology in plastics recycling.
“Reaching the 10th edition of PRS Europe, is an incredible milestone for our community,” says Matt Barber, Global Events Director at Crain Communications. “What began as a focused industry gathering has grown into the world’s largest plastics recycling event, a testament to the innovation and commitment driving this sector forward. This year, we’re on track once again to fill both halls at the RAI, welcoming over 450 exhibitors and expecting to attract even more than last year’s 13,000 attendees.”
“The plastics recycling industry is facing one of its most profound crises in recent years,” says Ton Emans, President of Plastics Recyclers Europe. “Market pressures and policy uncertainty are testing the entire value chain. In times like these, collaboration and innovation are essential. PRSE 2026 is where our industry comes together to confront these issues head-on, share practical solutions, and strengthen the partnerships needed to make plastics truly circular. This year’s gathering is more vital than ever.”
The two-day conference on the future of plastics recycling in Europe features parallel sessions across two theatres. It opens with Commissioner Roswall’s keynote on restoring competitiveness in Europe’s recycling sector, followed by sessions on food-contact rules, future-ready design, flexible polyolefin circularity, and a panel on how innovation drives investment. Theatre Two will host parallel discussions on voluntary sustainability pledges, improving feedstock predictability, and advancing circularity in construction.
The second day highlights fair competition, niche opportunities in rigid packaging, and the role of traceability in global plastics trade. Theatre Two covers future packaging trends, recycling challenges in end-of-life vehicles, new textile-recycling opportunities, and circular systems for WEEE.
Entries for the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2026 close on 5 December 2025, and the winners of all seven categories will be announced at the event on 6 May, with all finalists showcased at the exhibition.
The PRSE 2026 Boat Party sponsored by FIMIC will return for 2026, taking place on the first evening, 5 May. Tickets for the boat party will open for sale in January 2026.
