As Polymeris’ biennial event focusing on the recycling of plastics and elastomers, the National Symposium on Polymer Recycling was once again held in Clermont-Ferrand from 30 June to 1 July 2026. This provided IDELAM, a Polymeris member, with an opportunity to review, alongside numerous partners, current and upcoming projects, the many challenges ahead, and forthcoming economic and legislative changes. The event has become an unmissable occasion and a valuable source of new contacts.
