New for PRSE 2027, PRSE: Next Generation will connect university and higher education students with the people, technologies and career opportunities shaping the future of plastics recycling.

Building on the success of student visits at previous PRSE, students will be invited to follow a dedicated self-guided route via the PRSE App through the exhibition, discovering key recycling processes, the Automotive Plastics Recycling and Textile Recycling features, selected exhibitor stands and relevant conference sessions.

Exhibitors can get involved by welcoming students to their stands, showcasing their technologies and processes, and sharing insights into careers and opportunities within the industry.

The Plastics Recycling Awards Europe 2027 have introduced a new Rising Star category, recognising an emerging talent who is making an impact in the industry. The award will shine a spotlight on the people who represent the future of the sector and complement PRSE’s wider Next Generation initiative.

Exhibitors, universities and potential partners are invited to get involved and help shape this exciting new initiative.

Exhibitors: Open your stand to the next generation of talent. Participate in the student route, showcase your technology, promote careers within your business and connect with students who could become tomorrow’s employees.

Students: Discover and learn more about the plastics recycling industry and meet the companies offering exciting career opportunities.

Partner opportunity: An exhibitor can also become the Next Generation Partner, aligning their brand with talent development and the future of the plastics recycling industry through prominent branding, student engagement and pre-show and on-site promotion.
