New plastics consist of increasingly complex additive formulations and polymers. Can the recycling of mixed packaging plastics still make new products safe, or is the use of recycled materials in consumer products actually hazardous? In his presentation (in German) at the Innsbruck Waste and Resource Day 2026 on February 4, 2026, on the topic of “Plastics Recycling and Hazardous Substances – Risk Cycle,” Prof. Dr. Uwe Lahl not only addresses these questions, but also presents the latest findings and political developments in this area. Below you will find a link to the program flyer and the conference website with the registration form.
