The GK Guide to the Top Recycling Trade Shows of 2016

 by General Kinematics,

As a thought leader in manufacturing—including vibratory equipment, rotary equipment and process systems—General Kinematics knows the importance of not only creating high-quality products but also the value of partnerships in the field. Recycling conventions are one of the best opportunities to build those relationships face to face. In a market that’s projected to grow to be worth 21 billion euros (equivalent to about 22.75 billion U.S. dollars) by 2020, according to Statista, the global recycling market is an environmentally conscientious industry as well as a profitable one.

Here, we compiled a list of a handful of the top 2016 recycling trade shows for the year ahead.
