A hotel in Newcastle has been chosen by the German Kreyenborg Group to host its Polyester Extrusion and Recycling Forum in September because "the United Kingdom has one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving polyester extrusion and recycling industries in Europe."
Kreyenborg says that in recent years there has been a total transformation as the UK PET industry has evolved from a sector with few facilities and low collection rates to its current status. Investments have been made in collection systems, post consumer bottle sorting and washing facilities. This coupled with strong consumer demand for packaging containing recycled rPET has led to the development of the packaging, bottles, strapping tape and recycling industries.
The forum, billed as "the only UK based conference in 2010 dedicated to the polyester extrusion and recycling industries", will be held at the Novotel Hotel, Newcastle Airport on Wednesday, September 29. Details and registration at
