Digital Trade Fair for Plastics Sustainability

The increasing volume of plastic waste and the growing pollution of the oceans by such waste have brought the sustainable handling of plastic products into the focus of society and politics. Both recycling and bioplastics can be a part of a strategy for greater sustainability, but they are not free of side effects. In order to avoid irrational decisions, it is important to assess their effects comprehensively.

Why Recycled Films Are Not Necessarily Sustainable

There is little doubt where we are heading: multilayer packaging will have to become easier to recycle – but what does that mean for the technology? And what solutions will the market need and accept? Manufacturers of branded goods are not the only ones who will have to rethink their specifications.

Europe Needs to Catch up

Like plastics manufacturing and processing, the recycling of plastic products requires specialization to be efficient. Accordingly, a Dutch company has dedicated itself entirely to the recycling of agricultural and packaging films ¿ and invested in a machine technology, which was found along tortuous ways.

Sesotec GmbH, Schönberg, Germany, extends its range of free-fall metal separators with the Rapid Pro-Sense 6. This system is optimized for applications in the plastics industry, especially for granulate and compound producers. Used for quality assurance it, among other things, also is suitable for applications involving abrasive material. The model features a high detection accuracy and thus provides protection against complaints caused by metal particles, and the logbook function allows full traceability. Constant high product quality is thus guaranteed.

What kind of packaging do consumers evaluate as environmentally friendly? A study conducted in seven countries shows that consumers pay particular attention to the last stage of the packaging life cycle, e. g. compostability or recyclability. There are important differences between individual countries.

How Consumers Evaluate  Environmental Friendliness 

Germany¿s plastics associations presented current country data on the material cycle of polymers in mid-October. The survey provides a comprehensive picture of the material flows from production to utilization, including recycled materials for the first time. Controversial discussions between various players along the value chain took place during a symposium that followed.

D-Expo Circular Economy - The Digital Trade Fair for Plastics Sustainability

Industrial companies, associations, and institutions concerned with the topics of circular economy and plastics sustainability will present themselves on the digital platform D-Expo Circular Economy from April 13 – 16, 2021.

Sustainability has never been a more important or current topic in the plastics industry. With this in mind, Carl Hanser Verlag invites you to the virtual trade fair D-Expo Circular Economy, an international industry get-together from April 13–16, 2021. Industrial companies, associations, and institutions concerned with the topics of circular economy and plastics sustainability will present themselves on the digital platform.

The D-Expo Circular Economy builds on the success of the three virtual industry fairs that Carl Hanser Verlag already organized in fall 2020, For example, at the Germany-focused plastics trade show D-EXPO Kunststoff (November 2020), around 700 visitors were able to connect directly with exhibitors and enjoy the extensive live supporting program, completely online.

D-Expo Circular Economy, a fully English-language event, is aimed at a global audience. Get first-hand information about important developments and trends toward a circular economy of plastics, as well as new products and services relevant to this area.

Live Interaction with Experts and Exhibitors

The digital trade show offers direct communication between visitors and exhibitors with live interaction and manned booths. Exhibiting companies come from the fields of machinery and equipment, sustainability, plastics recycling, processing machinery, service, consulting, and more. D-EXPO Circular Economy offers a large industry network – and it stands for great transparency: anyone visiting the trade fair agrees to be visible with at least their name when registering. So during the event, “everyone can see everyone” and, if desired, address them directly via chat.

In the auditorium, an exciting supporting program with web conferences, interviews, and presentations on sustainability topics will be broadcast via livestream, on innovations and trends. After each presentation, questions can be put individually to the experts.

While there are clear differences between virtual trade shows and live events, digital events also offer a varied and informative program and a range of useful functionalities and interaction options.

<ul><li>International trade fair: Discover innovative products and offers from all over the world (English-language event)</li><li>Live event: communicate directly with exhibitors, speakers, and international plastics professionals</li><li>Informative supporting program: expert presentations, interviews, and discussion panels</li><li>Presentation files are available “on-demand” after the show</li><li>Simply digital, no matter where you are: convenient, environmentally friendly, COVID-safe, and efficiently accessible – all you need is Internet access</li><li>Free of charge for visitors: simply register and be there</li></ul>
