The 2022 program focused on industry-shaping topics like recycling and sustainability; barriers; circulatory issues; extrusion coating; and paper and film-based solutions.

The European PLACE Conference is the only event of its kind in Europe that focuses on Polymers, Laminations, Adhesives, Coatings and Extrusion. Speakers include not only experts from the industry, but many leaders from universities. This is truly a unique opportunity to engage in not only technical sessions, but also enjoyable relationship building.
