30 September 2026, ReBioCycle at EXPRA Webinar – Bioplastics: From Collection and Sorting to Circular Recycling Solutions

30 September 2026, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. CEST

ReBioCycle featured in EXPRA – EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY ALLIANCE Webinar

Agenda and scope 

Audience: EXPRA members 

Goal: Inform about the practical implications for collection, sorting and recycling systems, as well as the financing of these solutions and the possible role of EPR fees and fee modulation in supporting innovation. 

 

Bioplastics: From Collection and Sorting to Circular Recycling Solutions 

The objective would be to present the first concrete results of PROSPER, REBIOCYCLE and MOEBIOS and to discuss their practical and economic implications with selected Producer Responsibility Organisations. 

Please find below a proposed agenda: 

3:00–3:05 , Welcome and introduction
EXPRA 

3:05–3:12 – European policy context
Bioplastics in the context of the PPWR, the EU Bioeconomy Strategy and the evolving European policy framework. 

3:12–3:20 – PROSPER
Presentation of the project’s first results on mechanical recycling, including the recent findings on the behaviour of PLA over multiple mechanical recycling cycles. 

3:20–3:28 – REBIOCYCLE
Presentation of the project, its recycling pathways and its first relevant results. 

3:28–3:36 – MOEBIOS
Presentation of the project and its first relevant results on circular solutions for bioplastics. 

3:36–3:43 – Economic analysis
A short presentation of the economic analysis  by PROSPER, including the costs and conditions required to support viable recycling solutions. 

3:43–4:10 – Perspectives from PROs
A moderated discussion with selected EXPRA members on the practical implications for collection, sorting and recycling systems, as well as the financing of these solutions and the possible role of EPR fees and fee modulation in supporting innovation. 

4:10–4:25 – Audience questions and moderated discussion 

4:25–4:30 – Conclusions and next steps
