KraussMaffei Invites Industry Professionals to Sustainable Extrusion Summit

KraussMaffei Extrusion invites industry professionals to the Sustainable Extrusion Summit, a premier event for the plastics and recycling industry, taking place in Laatzen near Hanover, Germany. Attendees can look forward to an extensive program covering the latest developments in extrusion and recycling technology. The event is divided into two main topics: On March 25th and 26th, the focus will be on Pipe & Profile, while on March 26th and 27th will be all about recycling. At the heart of the event is the Technology Center, a facility that sets new benchmarks in extrusion with its unique development and application expertise.

The Technology Center is part of KraussMaffei Extrusion’s new 97,000 m² building complex. “The total of 26 state-of-the-art production lines are consistently geared towards technological excellence and sustainability and underline our role as a leading player in the plastics industry. We will be demonstrating this at the Sustainable Extrusion Summit and are delighted to welcome visitors from all over the world,” says Dr. Thomas Unger, Vice President of Technology, at KraussMaffei Extrusion.

The event highlights include numerous live demonstrations, expert panels, and discussion forums, providing participants with opportunities to engage with industry leaders and explore current trends and innovations.

Pipe & Profile (March 25th – 26th) – New multilayer pipe systems

The first two days will be dedicated to pipe and profile extrusion. Live demonstrations will showcase high-performance multilayer pipe production using the new pipe head, and efficient solutions for PVC pipe manufacturing and pelletising.

Top-class keynote speeches from partners such as Borealis, Kabelwerke Eupen, Baerlocher and Georg Fischer will provide insights into future trends and global challenges. Additionally, discussions will cover digital solutions and advanced control systems to enhance production efficiency and quality.

Recycling (March 26th – 27th) – Experience the circular economy firsthand

The second half of the event will centre on recycling and the circular economy. A key highlight will be the premiere of KraussMaffei Extrusion’s new machine concept for controlled upcycling of post-consumer plastic waste into high-quality automotive compounds. Another major feature is the energy-efficient and scalable production of food-safe rPET pellets.

Furthermore, the entire spectrum of recycling will be explored – from mechanical and solvent-based to chemical processes. Expert presentations from industry partners such as PureCycle Technology, Veolia, Lober, Polymetrix, and ExxonMobil, as well as from Plastics Europe and leading research institutions like IKV Aachen and IKK Hannover, will provide valuable insights into current developments and trends. The program will be complemented by groundbreaking technologies, including the use of artificial intelligence in compound development, smart sensor technology for in-line quality monitoring, and solutions for cable compounds in an electrified future.
