Innovative approaches in textile and automotive recycling were explored to overcome complex material blends and regulatory pressures, while integration of carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) highlighted the shift towards truly sustainable circular business models. A significant theme was the urgent need to expand recycling infrastructure to support the deployment of advanced technologies and meet regulatory targets. Extensive networking resulted in strengthened partnerships, further bolstered by a site visit to Chemiepark Knapsack, where participants witnessed industrial-scale deployment of these technologies in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2025\/12\/25-12-03_ARC_2025_Audience1-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"Advanced Recycling Conference 2025 Audience\" class=\"wp-image-171268\" style=\"width:350px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2025\/12\/25-12-03_ARC_2025_Audience1-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2025\/12\/25-12-03_ARC_2025_Audience1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2025\/12\/25-12-03_ARC_2025_Audience1-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2025\/12\/25-12-03_ARC_2025_Audience1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2025\/12\/25-12-03_ARC_2025_Audience1-400x267.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2025\/12\/25-12-03_ARC_2025_Audience1.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Advanced Recycling Conference 2025 Audience \u00a9 nova-Institut<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pathway to EU Targets and Renewable Carbon Growth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By bringing together stakeholders across technology, policy, and investment spheres, ARC 2025 laid out a clear pathway for meeting ambitious EU targets, such as increasing post-consumer recycled plastics in packaging to 10-35\u00a0% by 2030 and embedding 25\u00a0% recycled content in new vehicles. These cooperative efforts aim to overcome feedstock availability, variability and infrastructure challenges, fueling growth in renewable carbon value chains and advancing the defossilisation of the chemical industry.
