The registration for the PETCORE EUROPE Annual Conference 2026 will be open soon!

The PETCORE EUROPE Annual Conference 2026 will take place in Rome from 5-6 February 2026. Now in its 22nd year, this established fixture on the PET value chain calendar, is straying from its usual Brussels home and heading to Italy. It will be held at the Hyatt hotel in Rome.

And that’s not all. Next year’s event, which carries the theme ‘The PET value chain vs full circularity’ is being organised in partnership with global data and analytics provider, ICIS (Independent Commodity Intelligence Services).

“We are delighted to be partnering with ICIS,” explained PETCORE EUROPE chairman, Antonello Ciotti. “The deep knowledge and robust data that they bring to the table are invaluable in supporting industry insights and providing a clear picture of the challenges and opportunities facing our sector.”

The Annual Conference 2026 will once again gather players from right across the PET value chain – from producers and converters through to brands, retailers and recyclers. ​ Its Italian location provides an ideal chance to showcase national case studies and hear from industry players, policymakers and customers on the ground.

The two-day programme is currently in development, with panel sessions and speakers being secured. ​ Full details of some of the key highlights – including a call for innovation papers– will be available in due course.

Registrations for the conference and accommodation will open in September. ​ Be sure to visit the event website at www.petcoreeuropeannualconference.org for all updates.

All questions and enquiries should be made to PETCORE EUROPE senior communications adviser at maria.trofimova@petcore-europe.org.

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.
