Plastic is light, accessible, strong and durable, but the amount of plastic waste generated and the treatment of that waste has been a matter of growing concern across the world. BlueAlp brings to the market its pyrolysis technology that can make plastic as circular as possible, as fast as possible. With a mission to accelerate plastic recycling, BlueAlp was founded in 2015 and is currently owned by Shell, Mourik, Renasci, Den Hartog, and Rumali. The company launched its first pilot plant with a capacity of 3,000 tonnes p.a. in 2004 in Switzerland, followed by the launch of the first commercial plant with a capacity of 21,000 tonnes p.a. in Ostend, Belgium in 2020.
BlueAlp’s patent-protected technology introduces improvements that enable continuous and reliable operation of the pyrolysis units. The company is working on introducing increased processing capacity for its technology and licensing it to third parties. This will help accelerate plastic circularity across the world through the BlueAlp technology. Starting 2023, the focus at BlueAlp has been to enhance its processes to ensure that it is energy-efficient and has minimal impact on climate change and the environment.

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:
• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
• ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions
Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.
