SPE-Inspiring Plastics Professionals

SPE CONFERENCE: Innovations in Polyolefins 2026

Innovations in Polyolefins

Why Attend?

The European polyolefins sector is navigating a period of significant transformation. Driven by evolving EU legislation, increasing environmental awareness, and shifting public perception, the industry faces urgent challenges that demand innovation across the value chain—from production and regulation to end-of-life strategies.

The SPE Southern Europe Regional Interest Group invites researchers, industry experts, and stakeholders to submit papers for presentation at the Innovations in Polyolefins Conference, addressing challenges and opportunities for polyolefins within a sustainability-focused market.

The goal of the conference is to encourage interdisciplinary dialogue and highlight solutions that balance performance, safety, and circularity.

The conference will offer dynamic workshops, engaging panel discussions, and meaningful networking opportunities—all designed to encourage collaboration and build lasting relationships across the polyolefins value chain.
