(Brussels, Belgium), Brightlands Materials Center (Geleen, Netherlands) and (Brussels) are hosting the first edition of a cross-border, expert-driven event dedicated to accelerating the circular use of thermoplastic composites (TPC) and fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) by bringing together the local ecosystem.
The free, , “From Recyclable to Reliable: Scaling Circular Thermoplastic Composites” is taking place in BluePoint, Antwerp, Belgium, on Nov. 12, 2025 from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. CET.
This in-person gathering aims to 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.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Raphaël Pleynet (EuCIA) on the European Circular Composites Alliance
- Veerle Van Steen (Agoria) on waste legislation in Belgium and the ELV directive
- Hans Luinge (SpiralRTC – Rein4ced) on innovative recycling technologies.
