NEW EDITION OF THIS UNMISSABLE EVENT FOR AN ECO-RESPONSIBLE PLASTICS & COMPOSITES INDUSTRY

SFIP - the French Society of Plastics Engineers - and IMT Nord Europe - a leading engineering school of the Institut Mines‑Télécom - are organiszing the third edition of the Plastics & Environment congress, to be held in Douai (France) on 20-21 May 2026.

In a context where regulatory, climate and societal pressures are intensifying, our industry continues to demonstrate its ability to innovate, transform and deliver concrete solutions for a more sustainable plastics sector.

For this new edition, the programme brings together experts from industry, research, technical centres and European institutions.

The presentations will cover the entire value chain, from regulatory frameworks to practical applications, including the latest scientific and technological advances.

Join us for two days of discussions, networking and forward‑thinking around plastics and composites.

Themes:

• European regulatory developments

• Circularity perspectives

• Development of bio‑based, low‑carbon and biodegradable materials

• Advances in mechanical and chemical recycling

• Specific challenges of textiles and composites

• Issues related to plastic pollution, microplastics and life‑cycle assessment

• Eco‑design strategies and mono‑material architectures to optimise end‑of‑life and reuse

• Innovative initiatives in reuse, valorisation and circular design

• Decontamination
