EUROPE

6−7 November 2012 • Park Plaza Victoria • London, UK

The European recovered fibre market is subject to a number of pressures. Market structure has been affected by increased M&A activity; investments in new mills could provide new op-portunities; and the need to look to new sources of supply remains essential as traditional sources of recovered fibre dwindle.

These market influencers are critical to both the supply and con-sumption side of the industry as we prepare for the eighth edition of Paper Recycling Conference Europe. The event provides the perfect fo-rum to learn about these changes in Europe and the rest of the world and how they will affect your business.

Each session on the conference programme has been specially se-lected by an expert programme committee to ensure the hottest issues are addressed and the knowledge that you gain is maximised. The programme also will examine recent economic developments impact-ing the paper industry, opportunities in new geographic markets, the impact of pending rules and restrictions to trade and case studies of technologies and techniques proven to boost fibre recovery.

Furthermore, in response to the recent trend of traders and collec-tors diversifying into plastics, a new session has been introduced for 2012 that will examine plastic recycling opportunities.

Paper Recycling Conference Europe 2012 is the must-attend event for everyone involved in paper recycling. It provides unparalleled net-working opportunities and the most diverse programme covering the latest market trends.

Unlike other events, Paper Recycling Conference Europe attracts business leaders from both the supply and consuming sides of the industry, creating an active dialogue and presenting trading oppor-tunities. With an expected attendance of more than 300, this event provides an ideal platform for networking and business development.
