Chemical Recycling North America is AMI's conference on advanced recycling of waste plastics in North America: pyrolysis, gasification, depolymerisation and solvent-based purification, plus the regulation, financing and end markets around them. It is aimed at stakeholders across the plastics and recycling supply chain.

Chemical Recycling North America 2027

AMI lists the next Chemical Recycling North America conference for October 20–21, 2027 in Houston, Texas. No venue has been named yet, and the 2027 event page is currently a register-your-interest form for delegates, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors. The 2026 conference was held in Houston on March 10–11, 2026.

What it is

A two-day conference on chemical (advanced) recycling in North America. AMI frames it around a route to virgin-equivalent, food-contact-safe materials from waste plastic, set against high capital costs and questions of economic feasibility. The programme mixes high-level presentations, interactive sessions and networking with representatives from across the supply chain.

What the 2026 programme covered

• Advanced recycling technologies, including pyrolysis and gasification, depolymerisation and solvent-based purification
• Relevant legislation, regulations and standards
• Challenges and opportunities across the supply chain
• Financing and building chemical recycling plants
• End markets for chemically recycled materials

Exhibitors at the 2026 conference included Aduro, the American Chemistry Council, Erema, Evonik, Fluor Enterprises, Siemens and Weima.

Sister event

AMI runs a European Chemical Recycling conference as well; its 2027 meeting is in Frankfurt on September 15–16, 2027.
