MachinePoint Will Be at REPACK Poland 2026 🇵🇱
On October 28 and 29, Warsaw will host a conference focused on films and recycling, bringing together some of Europe's leading producers.
At the end of October, Poland will become a meeting point for Europe's plastics and recycling industry. More than 120 companies will gather in Warsaw to connect, build relationships and exchange ideas about the present and future of the sector.
This year's edition is set to be even bigger, with REPACK 2026 expanding in size and introducing an awards gala to recognise achievements within the industry. And, for the second year in a row, MachinePoint will be part of it, with our colleague Anna attending the event.
MachinePoint and the Used Recycling Machinery Market ♻️
At MachinePoint, we have been supporting the circular economy in the plastics industry for more than two decades. Today, more than ever, we believe it is an essential part of the industry's present.
Over the years, we have built relationships with companies around the world that see used machinery not only as an alternative for growth, but also as their first choice when investing in equipment.
Returning to REPACK for the second consecutive year is another opportunity for us to strengthen existing relationships, meet new companies and keep learning about the challenges and opportunities shaping the recycling industry.
We are also looking forward to seeing how the event continues to grow, bringing together more industry professionals and creating new spaces to exchange knowledge and ideas.
Expanding operations, increasing production capacity and making smarter investments through the circular economy is not only possible; for many businesses, it is a key part of their growth strategy.
And MachinePoint is here to support companies throughout the entire process, from initial communication and technical assessments to documentation and logistics.
Europe's Circular Economy Faces New Challenges 📉
Europe's transition towards a circular plastics economy is facing a slowdown. According to Plastics Europe's report *The Circular Economy for Plastics – A European Analysis 2026*, annual growth in circular plastics production fell from 13.6% in the 2018–2022 period to just 1.2% between 2022 and 2024. Meanwhile, 19% of European plastics converters' demand for circular plastics was met through imports, highlighting the continent's reliance on international supply chains.
These figures do not mean that European companies are turning away from the circular economy. Instead, they point to the challenges the industry faces in remaining competitive while investing in more sustainable production models. Strengthening recycling infrastructure, encouraging investment and making better use of existing industrial resources will be essential to supporting Europe's circular transition.
In this context, continuing to invest in circular solutions is not just an environmental priority. It is also an opportunity to improve industrial efficiency, reduce resource dependency and help European companies remain competitive in a changing global market.
See You at REPACK 2026! 🤝
With a bigger event, new opportunities to connect and an awards gala celebrating the industry, REPACK 2026 promises to be an exciting meeting point for everyone involved in plastics and recycling.
For MachinePoint, being there for the second year in a row reflects our commitment to staying close to the companies, people and markets driving the industry forward.
