China Chemical Fiber Economic Information Network (CCFEI), PCI-Group and Dr. Thiele Polyester Technology are presenting the 4th China International Recycled Polyester Conference in Hangzhou China. This event which is taking place September 2nd  till 4th, 2008 is expected to attract the polyester recycling industry round the globe. China as the largest consumer of polyester flakes and recycled polyester becomes the linchpin for all companies producing and trading PET bottle flakes and companies providing recycling processing technology, special equipment and know how.

While dramatic changes are taking place in macro-environment, the recycling industry in China and worldwide also faces severe challenges, including fast expanding capacity, high and unstable flake prices and soaring costs, all are calling for production cutbacks. The 4th China International Recycled Polyester Fiber Market & Tech Conference will provide a good opportunity to look over those subjects. And more important a gathering of more than 250 participants from China and oversees guarantees a tight networking and efficient business talks. Some highlights of the conference are:
