Our partner RINA Consulting presented PLASTICE at its booth at Ecomondo 2026, the green technology and circular economy trade fair in Rimini, Italy. On 3 and 4 November, Gaia Masoero, who leads the project’s work on replication, welcomed visitors at Booth 102, Hall D3, and offered one-to-one meetings to stakeholders from across the plastics value chain.
Visitors could learn how PLASTICE is giving a second life to plastic and textile waste that mechanical recycling cannot handle. The project combines four technologies (microwave-assisted pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction, gasification and enzymatic hydrolysis) and tests them through pilots in Spain, Italy and Austria.
At the booth, visitors and stakeholders has the possibility of having one-to-one talks about the project, increasing the PLASTICE network, and could also pick up the PLASTICE brochure, which presents the four technologies, the demo sites and the partners behind them. For RINA Consulting, the fair was a chance to talk with waste managers, recyclers and technology providers about what it takes to move these solutions beyond the pilot stage and replicate them in other regions and industries.
