After receiving a record number of entries, the organisers of the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2024 have announced the shortlist of finalists. The winners of the seven awards will be revealed on 20 June, the second day of the Plastics Recycling Show Europe at the RAI Amsterdam, where all the finalists will also be showcased.

“Congratulations to the finalists that qualified this year. Brand owners, product and packaging designers, raw material producers and equipment manufacturers from the whole plastics value chain in Europe are among the finalists. Every product and project is a clear result of the investments the European recycling industry has been injecting into the sector for the last decade. We shouldn’t forget this in the evolving legislative landscape,” said Ton Emans, president of Plastics Recyclers Europe.

“The diversity of our finalists is a testament to the remarkable progress we have seen in the circular and sustainable use of plastics in the seven years since the Awards first opened,” added Matt Barber, global events director at PRSE’s organiser Crain Communications.
