A Packed Agenda of Innovation & Impact

This year’s conference features three focused sessions, diving deep into the future of circularity, manufacturing, and digitalisation in the polymer and composite sectors. Attendees will hear from leading experts on sustainable composite technologies, advanced recycling strategies, and AI-driven manufacturing transformation.

Confirmed speakers include top researchers and innovators from across Europe. Expect valuable insights from institutions such as CIDETEC, Centexbel, Fraunhofer ICT, Aimplas, Tomas Bata University, Axel’One, and many more.

Key Themes Include:

  • Breakthroughs in 3R technologies and biobased materials
  • Smart compounding and chemical recycling
  • Enzymatic and microbial recycling innovations
  • Digital tools like online spectroscopy and AI for SME manufacturing
  • European initiatives modernizing the sector such as EFFRA, Polytronics, and CISUFLO

More Than Just Talks – It’s a Platform for Collaboration

In addition to expert-led sessions, the ECP4 conference offers panel discussions, Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities, designed to spark connections between academia, research institutions, policymakers, and industry leaders.

The event continues ECP4’s mission to foster “circular cooperation” — strengthening collaboration and accelerating progress toward a truly circular economy.
