Online Webinar “PETCORE EUROPE: INNOVATIONS IN THE PET VALUE CHAIN”

Back in 2025 PETCORE EUROPE launched a call for Papers on Innovation within the ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2026: “The PET Value Chain vs. Full Circularity”. ​ ​

Due to a large number of well-grounded papers from various members and non-members PETCORE EUROPE could choose only a limited number of innovation projects.

This is why, on the 16th of April at 2 PM CET, we would like to host a dedicated online webinar, where all the presenters, whose projects were not selected earlier, will be invited to participate & showcase their innovation papers. ​

The objective of this session is to highlight initiatives which will facilitate implementation of PET circularity and make our industry more responsive to Regulatory and Market changes and challenges.

Registration is completely free! Register in advance to learn more about innovations in PET value chain! ​

About Petcore Europe

Petcore Europe is the association representing the complete PET value chain in Europe since 1993.

Its mission is to ensure that the entire PET industry is well aligned to enhance its value and sustainable growth, to represent the PET industry before the European institutions and other stakeholders, to ensure that PET is positioned as an outstanding packaging material and recognised as environmentally sound, to support and validate innovative packaging solutions from a recycling perspective, and to work with all interested parties to ensure a continuous increase of PET post-consumer collection and recycling.

PET (PolyEthylene Terephthalate) is a strong but lightweight form of polyester. It is used to make containers for soft drinks, juices, drinks, water, edible oil, fresh food and dairy as well as household cleaners and other non-food applications. PET bottles and food containers, such as sheets and trays are perfectly recyclable while they help to reduce CO2 emissions and food waste.
