As an enabler of the circular economy, the mechanical and plant engineering sector provides technologies for the various options for recycling plastics. The Spotlight Area, for which it is responsible, focuses on chemical recycling and sends visitors on a tour through the world of recycling - from collection, sorting and shredding to the new product, the path leads via mechanical or chemical recycling. The area sheds light on the technologies, highlights the potential and highlights the limits.

Biomass is the multi-talent - regenerative energy source of the future and secondary raw material in one. The VDMA Practical Days will present large mobile machines in real-life use in live demonstrations on waste wood, park and garden waste, roots and logs. The VDMA Waste and Recycling Technology Association is the organizer of the Practical Days.

Big machines for a big job! Construction and demolition waste is the largest waste fraction in the EU. The industry is currently starting to tear down the 90s.

We represent the technical and economic interests of more than 110 member companies at national and European level. In addition, we promote the exchange of experience and organise technical lectures. As a platform for informal meetings, we drive developments through technical and marketing-oriented working groups, primarily in the areas of recycling and processing technology as well as biological, mechanical and thermal processes. The member companies of the VDMA Waste and Recycling Technology plan, build and supply plants for the environmentally compatible disposal of waste, the extraction of high-quality secondary raw materials and the generation of renewable energies.

The demands on the quantity and quality of drinking, process and industrial water are constantly increasing. Our member companies are developing efficient solutions for this, both for water treatment and for wastewater and sludge treatment. With its work, our specialist department supports member companies in designing solutions that are fit for the future. After all, the increasing demand means that the companies organized in our network, with their innovative concepts, will continue to be sought-after partners.
