Within the scope of the EU-funded SwitchMed / MED TEST III project, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the Afeka Institute of Circular Engineering and Economy (AICEE), and the Manufacturers’ Association of Israel invite members of the Israeli plastic and recycling industry to an online seminar on technologies, companies, and new trends for recycling plastics.
The seminar will introduce proven technologies from the European plastics recycling market and elaborate innovative approaches in the collection, sorting, recycling, consumer behaviour and regulatory policies.
Target audience: Decision makers, operation managers and officials in the plastics industry, the recycling industry and plastic users, and managers in the fields of sustainability and the environment. The workshop is also open to the general public.
Participation is free of charge.
