BRISTOL, UK – 23 March 2026 – AMI has announced that online registration is now open for its Compounding & Recycling Expo, taking place on 23–24 September 2026 at Messe Frankfurt, Germany. The free-to-attend exhibition showcases the growing overlap between polymer compounding and recycling, bringing the full value chain together for two days of innovation, collaboration and technical insights.

Attendees also gain free entry to two focused conference theatres offering expert-led sessions on market trends, technical developments, innovative applications, and Europe’s evolving regulatory landscape.

As the crossover between compounding and recycling accelerates, the event offers a unique platform for the industry to explore the future of polymer performance, sustainability and circularity. The exhibition will showcase cutting-edge solutions from leading suppliers of compounding machinery, raw materials, additives, recycling technology, and testing equipment. Exhibitors already confirmed include Wacker, BASF, Sun Chemical, SI Group, JSW, Hosokawa Alpine, Farrel Pomini, Van Werven, Maag, Invista, Orion, Gneuss, Theysohn and many more.

Positioned at the heart of Europe’s manufacturing economy, Frankfurt is an ideal host city. Germany is the continent’s largest plastics market and a global leader in materials science and recycling developments. With outstanding transport connections, the location is the perfect meeting point for an international audience of compounders, masterbatch producers, recyclers, waste managers, processors and OEMs.

“We recognise that the futures of compounding and recycling are closely interconnected,” said Andy Beevers, Events Director at AMI. “Our team has worked closely with the industry to understand its evolving needs, and this expo is the result; the only platform in Europe that truly reflects the importance of this shared direction. We’ve created an unmissable opportunity for the entire supply chain to come together, collaborate, and drive the next generation of materials forward.”

The Compounding & Recycling Expo Europe is designed for decision makers working in plastics compounding, recycling, waste management, and processing. It also attracts sustainability and materials specialists from end-use markets, such as packaging, automotive, construction, electronics and more.
