7th Edition — Driving Breakthroughs in Plastic Recycling

PRCA conference PRCA networking

About the Conference

7th Edition PRCA 2027

Plastic circularity has entered a decisive decade. Across Asia, brands are committing to higher recycled-content usage, governments are strengthening EPR regulations, and investors are directing capital toward recycling infrastructure.

PRCA 2027 has been redesigned as a business platform where brand owners define material requirements, recyclers supply quality recycled polymers, converters develop packaging, technology providers improve efficiency, and policymakers enable the ecosystem.

Building on six successful editions, the two-day conference covers recycling innovations, EPR frameworks, quality standards, and global trade of recyclates, alongside the PRCA Awards & Recognition Ceremony.

Why PRCA

Brand owners at the centre

Unlike conventional recycling conferences, every session is designed around one question: How can the value chain work together to increase the adoption of recycled plastics?

01

Brand Leadership Summit

Global sustainability targets, PCR procurement roadmaps, and supplier partnerships.

02

Asia Circular Packaging Summit

Packaging innovation, mono-materials, design for recycling, and recycled content.

03

Technology Innovation Theatre

Machinery, automation, recycling technologies, testing, and digital solutions.

04

Policy & Trade Roundtable

EPR frameworks, global plastic treaty, trade barriers, and food-grade standards.

05

Asia Market Outlook 2035

Country outlooks, demand projections, and investment trends across Asia.

06

Closed-loop Success Stories

Joint presentations by brands, recyclers, and converters on circular business models.

Why Asia

The epicentre of plastic circularity

Asia is the world's largest manufacturing and consumption hub for plastics and the fastest-growing region for circular economy investments.

  • Majority share of global plastics production and demand is concentrated in Asia.
  • Fastest growth in recycled-content commitments from multinational brands.
  • Significant investment opportunities in collection, sorting, recycling and circular packaging.
  • Strong demand expected for food-grade recycled PET, HDPE and PP.

India

A rising force in plastics recycling

India is emerging as one of the most attractive circular plastics markets due to rapid economic growth, packaging demand, EPR implementation and expanding recycling capacity.

  • Expanding FMCG and food packaging sectors driving recycled polymer demand.
  • Strong informal and formal collection ecosystem.
  • Growth in e-commerce and retail logistics.
  • Increasing investments in high-quality recycling and food-contact applications.
