In our continuing effort to make NPE2024 a more sustainable event and as we work towards our goal of repurposing 100% of the plastic from the show, the Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) will offer a free, full-service program to recycle your plastic scrap generated during NPE2024: The Plastics Show. Plastic scrap is defined as plastic material manufactured on the show floor that features recycling codes 1 through 7 and needs to be repurposed.
New for 2024, plastic film will also be recycled onsite!
The NPE Recycling Program was enthusiastically received by exhibitors at previous shows and provides positive press coverage for NPE exhibitors, NPE, PLASTICS and the plastics industry overall. We encourage you to participate in this program to help support our industry’s initiative for a sustainable event.
Exhibitors will have access to complimentary, full-service recycling from move-in to move-out during NPE2024. Based on the information you provide in this Recycling Needs Survey, our partner CPR will work directly with your appointed company representative to plan, schedule, and remove your scrap material from your booth.
CPR will collect and remove plastic scrap from the NPE2024 show floor and transport it to the on-site recycling areas at the Orange County Convention Center: West Hall in the Westwood parking lot and South Hall in the Sustainability zone. Collected plastic scrap will be reduced to regrind form and film will be reduced to pellet form before ibeing transported to CPR’s headquarters in Tampa, Florida.
We encourage your participation in establishing an effective and economical waste reduction/recycling plan for NPE2024. It is our goal to demonstrate to members, brand owners, show participants, media, and the public the strides our industry is making in the products we produce, as well as the methods our industry is taking to help us fulfill PLASTICS’ mission of Zero Waste.
Attendees are invited to visit the recycling demonstration areas to see the recycling process live in real time.
