Getting the Most From Recycled Materials at RWM in Partnership with CIWM – September 13-15 – NEC, Birmingham
In a climate where food and drink manufacturers are increasingly under pressure to reduce their own food waste, cut packaging levels and introduce more environmentally friendly packaging options, RWM in partnership with CIWM is the perfect opportunity to see the latest developments in waste management and recycling. In addition visitors can see how a sustainable approach to business can save long-term costs and boost revenue.
For the first time, the sustainability and recycling industry’s two biggest exhibitions, the Recycling and Waste Management Exhibition (RWM) and The Chartered Institution of Wastes Management’s (CIWM) Futuresource, have combined to create a single flagship event taking place at Birmingham’s NEC from Tuesday 13 to Thursday 15 September.
With more than 600 exhibitors already signed up, the exhibition will feature the very latest products and services in waste and recycling, including the latest in packaging and food waste services. For example, visitors can find out about innovations in recycled packaging options from suppliers including Biffa Polymers who will be available to demonstrate the variety of food and drink packaging applications that are produced from recycled mixed plastics.
You will also see one of Europe’s premier food chain recycling specialists PDM Group, IMC’s award winning food waste recycling solution and Smurfit Kappa Recycling (UK), the first multi-site packaging company to receive the carbon trust standard, to name but a few.
