RePlast Eurasia returns to the Tuyap Fair and Congress Center in Buyukcekmece next spring for a fourth edition devoted to plastics and fibre recycling technology and raw materials. The fair opens on the twenty eighth of April and closes on the thirtieth, moving from the March slot it held in its previous edition.
The event is staged by the Tuyap Fairs and Exhibitions Organization and is positioned by its organiser as the only trade fair in the country built specifically around recycling technologies and recovered raw materials for both plastics and fibre. That scope is wider than the name suggests, since the fibre half brings textile recyclers into a hall that would otherwise be purely polymer.
The exhibit profile covers sorting and washing lines, extrusion and granulation equipment, shredders and grinders, and the recyclate itself, the flake and regranulate that converters buy as feedstock. Machinery builders and material suppliers sit alongside each other, which is the arrangement the organiser uses across its industrial fairs.
The spring date places the fair immediately alongside the construction exhibition that runs at the same ground in the same week, a scheduling choice that gives recyclers access to a buyer flow from building products, where recycled polymer content has become a procurement requirement in several European markets.
Turkey is one of the larger importers of plastic waste for processing in the region, and the recycling sector has drawn investment as European customers press their suppliers for recycled content. The fair is the organiser's main annual channel into that trade.
