Finalists Revealed for Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2026

The organisers of the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2026 have announced the shortlist of finalists. The winners of the seven awards will be revealed on 6 May at the Plastics Recycling Show Europe, where all the finalists will also be showcased.

“This year’s finalists embody the ingenuity and innovation driving the plastics recycling value chain, all the more remarkably given the deep crisis we are facing. They demonstrate how collaboration, dedication and long-term investment can advance plastics circularity and show that with the right support the plastics recycling sector can position Europe for a more competitive and resilient future,” said Ton Emans, President of Plastics Recyclers Europe. “Congratulations to them all!”

“Reaching finalist status at the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe is a significant achievement in itself. The standard of entries was exceptionally high, and those shortlisted represent the very best in recycling technology, product design and business leadership in Europe,” added Matt Barber, Global Events Director at PRS Europe’s organiser Crain Communications. “We look forward to celebrating their achievements and revealing the winners at the 10th anniversary edition of PRS Europe in Amsterdam.”
