A new cross-border initiative is set to strengthen Europe's commitment to sustainable materials as Agoria, Brightlands Materials Center, and Sirris jointly host the first edition of 'From Recyclable to Reliable: Scaling Circular Thermoplastic Composites' on November 12, 2025, at BluePoint, Antwerp.
The event will convene leading industry players, technology innovators, researchers, and end-users from Belgium, the Netherlands, and across Europe to accelerate the circular use of thermoplastic composites and fiber-reinforced plastics.
This unique gathering will bring together industry leaders, technology providers, researchers, and end-users from Belgium, the Netherlands, and beyond to:
- Exchange insights on fiber-reinforced thermoplastic recycling
- Share inspiration for the thermoset recycling industry
- Build and strengthen a circular ecosystem across borders
- Lay the foundation for a recurring annual event alternating between Belgium and the Netherlands
The conference features prominent speakers including Raphaël Pleynet of EuCIA discussing the European Circular Composites Alliance, Veerle Van Steen of Agoria addressing Belgium's waste legislation and the ELV Directive, and Hans Luinge of SpiralRTC (Rein4ced) presenting innovative recycling technologies.
With plans to alternate annually between Belgium and the Netherlands, 'From Recyclable to Reliable' aims to become a cornerstone event for Europe's circular composites movement.
