More than 45 years in the international polymer market, connecting producers, converters and recyclers across Europe. Today I work to make recycled plastics the obvious choice, because waste is a resource.
I joined the plastics business in January 1983 and have worked in it ever since, as an intermediary in the international market: matching materials, companies and countries. Four decades of this have shown me how the market really works, and what still holds recycling back.
Today I share that experience as a speaker and advocate for plastics recycling.
Where recycled polymers come from, what they are worth and who needs them: supply, quality and price, seen from inside the market.
Long-standing relationships with producers, converters, recyclers and traders across Europe, and a knack for bringing the right people together.
Practical arguments for treating waste as a resource, and for rules and incentives that make recycled materials competitive.
Talks, panels and business meetings where I speak for the plastics sector and argue for recycled materials.
Why a discarded piece of plastic still has value, and why the market needs clearer rules to make recycled materials the obvious choice.
No upcoming events are scheduled right now. Recent appearances:
Silvia Merighi on stage in Budapest, speaking about plastics recycling and the circular economy.
Two days of exhibitions, panels and roundtables on polymers, packaging and recycling in Central Europe.
