Differences in the Recycling of Pre- and Post-Consumer Plastic Waste from a Standardisation Perspective
From regulatory requirements to analytical technical solutions in material development with pre- and post-consumer plastic waste, learn how inline methods, rheology, and extrusion streamline R&D processes for faster and more sustainable product development.
Modern plastics, used in packaging, automotive, textile, and other applications, often contain complex chemical mixtures, posing significant recycling challenges. This 5-part webinar series introduces advancements in science to create efficient recycling methods for separating and processing these materials.
Who should attend this webinar series?
- Researchers and scientists from industry and academia who are involved in polymer/biopolymer material and product development.
Key learning objectives:
- Understanding Material Development: Learn about the latest advancements in developing new materials from recycled plastics.
- Innovative Methods: Discover the benefits of small-scale extrusion, rheology, and real-time online analytical methods, such as spectroscopy, in plastic recycling.

Webinar 1: Differences in the Recycling of Pre- and Post-Consumer Plastic Waste from a Standardisation Perspective
Presenter: Dr. Madina Shamsuyeva (Head of the Department of Plastic Technology, Recycling and Plastic Analytics, IKK, Institute of Plastics and Circular Economy, Leibniz University Hannover)
Dr. Madina Shamsuyeva will present the classification of input streams for post-consumer recycled (PCR) and post-industrial recycled (PIR) materials, a key focus of European standardization efforts in plastic recycling. Her presentation will provide a technical perspective on the classification approach and ongoing debates in the field. As Head of the Department of Plastics Technology, Recycling, and Plastics Analytics at the IKK—Institute of Plastics and Circular Economy, Leibniz University Hannover, Dr. Shamsuyeva specializes in polymer analytics, plastic recycling standardization, and fiber surface treatment, with a research focus on thermoplastic and textile recycling.
