Electromobility, whether based on batteries or hydrogen fuel cells, permits zero-emission driving and the integration of the transport sector into an overall concept with a high share of renewable energy. Fuel cell technology will play a key role here, not only because of its long-range capability. However, the deciding factor will be the use of high-quality, but also cost-effective, materials and production processes to offer reliable, affordable products. This will place demands on plastics technology, in particular.

Due to a government order the Chinaplas will not be able to take place in August 2020 after all. The fair will be postponed again, although the venue will also change. 

The Chinaplas 2020 was already postponed in February from April 2020 to August 3-6, 2020. Due to the worldwide developments regarding the Corona Pandemic, the fair has now been postponed to next year. It will take place from 13 to 16 April 2021. 

The renewed change of date is due to an order of the Chinese government which bans all trade fair events for the time being, Chinaplas organiser Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. announced. 

In addition to the change of date, Chinaplas will also be moved from its original venue, the Convention Center in Shanghai, to the World Exhibition and Convention Center in Shenzhen. Shenzhen is considered an important production and R&D center for the Greater Bay Area in China. 

Adsale will do everything in its power to help all exhibitors, partners and visitors to minimise the disadvantages caused by the postponement.
