ETIRA participated in the event through its AGM, industry round table discussions, presentations, and member meetings.

ETIRA experienced a busy and productive opening day yesterday at Recycler Live & Trade Days in Dortmund, with strong attendance at both the ETIRA booth and the event’s Briefing Room presentation programme.

Vincent van Dijk, representing ETIRA, delivered the session “EU Regulation Update”, which examined the current direction of European legislation affecting the document printing supplies sector and the potential implications for the industry in the years ahead.

The presentation formed part of a full Briefing Room schedule that attracted excellent attendance throughout the day, with delegates actively engaging in discussions around regulation, sustainability, remanufacturing, and evolving market dynamics.

Alongside the seminar programme, the ETIRA booth saw a steady flow of visitors and enquiries throughout the day, creating valuable opportunities for discussion with members, industry stakeholders, and visitors attending the first edition of Recycler Live & Trade Days.

The atmosphere across Hall 1 remained positive and business-focused, with networking and face-to-face interaction very much at the centre of the event.
