AMI has announced its Compounding & Recycling Expo will take place on 23–24 September 2026, at Messe Frankfurt in Germany. The free-to-attend tradeshow and conference reflects the growing crossover between the plastics compounding and recycling industries, providing a vital platform for innovation in polymer performance and sustainability.
The choice of Frankfurt as the host city places the event at the epicentre of Europe’s plastics economy. Germany is the continent's largest producer and consumer of plastics and a world leader in materials science and recycling technology. With its excellent transport connections, this strategic location offers exhibitors unparalleled access to an international audience of compounders, masterbatch makers, recyclers, waste managers, plastics processors and OEMs.
The exhibition will feature two focused conference theatres with expert-led sessions on the latest market trends, technical innovations, and regulatory developments. Attendees will discover cutting-edge solutions from leading suppliers of compounding machinery, raw materials, additives, recycling technology, and testing equipment.
“We are incredibly excited to bring the Compounding & Recycling Expo to Frankfurt in its new, focused format,” said Andy Beevers, Events Director at AMI. “The industry has been clear: the futures of compounding and recycling are intertwined. This expo is the only platform in Europe that truly acknowledges the importance of these sectors and their synergy, creating an unmissable opportunity for the entire supply chain to collaborate and drive the next generation of materials forward.”
