Chemical Recycling Europe officially launched On the 22 nd of January, a new non-profit organisation, Chemical Recycling Europe, was created with the vision of establishing an indus- try platform for developing and promoting cutting-edge chemical recycling tech- nologies for polymer waste across Europe. The new association aims to deepen collaboration with the EU Institutions and develop positive industry- wide relationships throughout the whole chemical recycling value chains in Europe in order to boost specific poly- mer recycling. Chemical recycling of polymers in Europe will need to develop in order to reach the high level of expectations from the EU politicians. During the constitutional meeting, Carlos Monreal, CEO of Plastic Energy was elected President. Additional Board members are Jeroen Bulk (Ioniqa Technologies), Maurizio Crippa (Gr3n), Richard Daley (RENEW ELP), and Floris Geeris (IGE Solutions), all representing key European companies involved in chemical recycling. Chemical Recycling Europe is open to all companies across the value chain that want to ensure chemical recycling will truly find its way in the circular polymer value chains. For this purpose the first step is a major conference on chemical recycling in Brussels that will take place on June 4, 2019. www.chemicalrecyclingeurope.eu Husky names John Hafferty Chief Financial Officer Husky Injection Molding Systems announced the appoint- ment of John Hafferty to the position of Chief Financial Officer.
