No shortage of fiber topics at autumn events

With COVID-19 restrictions having been minimized or eliminated in most parts of the world, paper recyclers will have renewed opportunities to gather in the autumn of 2022, with anticipated events to be held in Dubai, Chicago and Rotterdam.
The Recycling Today Media Group will host its annual Paper & Plastics Recycling Conference for North America in Chicago on Oct. 19-20. About one month later, its Paper & Plastics Recycling Conference Europe event will be held in Rotterdam on Nov. 15-16.
The two-day Rotterdam event has been designed to present numerous networking opportunities scheduled before and after seven conference sessions.
While two of those sessions will appeal to paper recyclers who also have an interest in plastic recycling markets, the other five all address topics of keen interest to collectors, sellers and buyers of recovered paper.
The conference’s closing session Nov. 16 will feature veteran paper industry consultant Bill Moore moderating a Paper Mill Buyer’s Panel. The conversation between mill buyers (and audience members) has been a traditional favorite of attendees of the conference, which was created in 2005.
The previous day, a keynote presentation will look at circular economy and Green Deal policies and how they affect private sector recyclers. Presenters at this opening session will be Ulrich Leberle of the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI) and Andreas Krawczik, a board member of the European Waste Management Association (FEAD).
Later in the morning, a session focused on packaging will include a presentation from Jurgita Girzadien, sustainability manager for global board producer Smurfit Kappa.
The afternoon of Nov. 15 in Rotterdam, a session called “The Paper Chain Within Europe (And Beyond)” will look at several issues affecting paper recyclers in Europe, including the numerous investments away from graphic papermaking and toward packaging.
Another session called “Walls And Bridges: Trade In The 2020s” will examine trade and freight issues. That session will be moderated by Simon Ellin of the United Kingdom-based The Recycling Association.
About one month prior, paper recyclers will have their choice of either attending the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) autumn convention, which includes an open meeting of its Paper Division on Oct. 18.
At nearly the same time, North American and international paper recyclers also will gather for the 2022 Paper & Plastics Recycling Conference in Chicago on Oct. 19-20. That event is preceded by a one-day MRF Operations Forum that looks at technology changes and other dynamics in the material recovery facility (MRF) subsector.
At the two-day conference that follows, scheduled speakers and panelists are being drawn from numerous North American and global companies, including Cascades, Kruger Recycling, Grief, Maersk, Pratt Recycling and Sonoco.
