The CEPM is where Europe’s Plastics and Recycling Industry Meets to Make Deals, Debate Bold Ideas & Party on the Danube.
3 days of structured B2B matchmaking, radical conference talks, and laid-back networking — all in the heart of Central Europe, in Budapest.
Read below the pictures for more details!
🟩 WHAT MAKES THE CEPM DIFFERENT
Not your usual trade fair.
CEPM is where serious business meets real conversations
— and no, we don’t do expensive booths or half-cold coffee.
We’re building Central Europe’s leading plastics industry hub: focused, efficient, and human-centered.
📍 Why Budapest?
Because this is the next frontier for growth. As Western European industry players shift eastward, this region is where connections matter most.
🧩 Who’s it for?
Raw material producers & distributors (both virgin and recycled), machinery and tooling companies, service providers, and plastics processors... SO REALLY FOR ALL THE PLASTICS AND RECYCLING SUPPLY CHAIN!
