About this Event

European association, PETCORE EUROPE, representing polyester value chain, is hosting an online webinar dedicated to the latest developments in TEXTILE PES/PET recycling. This event will provide insights into advancements in mechanical, depolymerization and sorting technologies, while also exploring the challenges of scaling the necessary collection & sorting quantities through the recycling process. We will also take an opportunity to evaluate the feasibility of aligning these initiatives with EU regulatory goals.

16:05- 16:30 Current State and Global Collaboration for EU Alignment on SIMULTANEOUS SCALABLE SOLUTIONS by Christian Crépet - PETCORE EUROPE

  • Alignment Across the EU to organize the circular value chain:

EPR, collection, sorting and preparation deployment updates

  • Collection schemes deployment

Reverse logistics strategies, asset recovery, take-back programs, voluntary return, kerbside, charity led

Consumer education and incentivizing

  • Regulatory Framework to support deployment of a circular value chain

Recycled content, End-of-Waste, Waste shipment, Textiles labelling, industry standards, Enforcement and Monitoring


16:25-16:30 Q&A on how can the textile industry be ready to harmonize simultaneously scaling for an EU sustainable success?


16:30-17:45 The key challenge lies in driving global expansion of textile circularity while simultaneously aligning all recycling steps across the EU moderated by Bruno Langlois - Carbios
