Plastic Circular Economy Trends

The global resource management sector is transitioning toward greater digital technology adoption using disruptive smart technologies and platform-based solutions to ensure physical and digital tracking of closed-loop material management. AI-powered material recognition is a disruptive technology that offers high growth potential in current and future applications for efficient waste sorting and recycling. Smart material recovery facilities are implementing combination of robotic sorting solutions, computer vision, optical sorters, sensors, and AI with ability to perform complex tasks and detect specific type/shape/brand of packaging of individual manufacturers.

This presentation will cover:

• What are the current trends shaping global plastic packaging markets and what are the direct factors impacting development of mechanical recycling of plastic packaging?
• What is the distribution of plastic packaging waste recycling facilities, services and new investments by region with growth opportunity by segments?
• Who are the growth accelerators shaping mechanical recycling in the Circular Economy of plastics?
• Who are the leading providers of AI-based material recognition technologies and mechanical processing technologies?
• How the application of AI in waste recycling is supporting development of new markets for secondary materials as well as creating new business models?
• What are the top growth opportunities emerging from the development of AI for plastic packaging waste mechanical sorting & processing?
