D-Expo Circular Economy - The 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.

From Waste Collector to the  Plastic Recycler 

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.

Packaging Sustainability and Incorporation of Recycled Material

Various waste materials are produced in blow and flat sheet film manufacturing. This includes film residues, scrapped rolls, trimmings and purgings. Stamping grids and scrap parts are also generated in case of subsequent thermoform production. The zero scrap production concept of NGR is intended to return all waste material to the manufacturing process.

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.

Digital Trade Fair for Plastics Sustainability

From April 13 – 16, 2021 Hanser launches international virtual trade fair D-Expo Circular Economy for professionals with a focus on sustainability, recycling, eco-design, life-cycle, and more.

The possible uses for plastics are becoming more and more diverse, while at the same time production continues to increase every year, and with it the challenge and responsibility of business and industry to make their use more sustainable, resource-conserving, and environmentally friendly is growing globally. The digital trade fair D-Expo Circular Economy – Digital Trade Fair for Plastics Sustainabilty, from Carl Hanser Verlag, offers an international industry platform for this purpose from April 13–16, 2021, with live interaction, an inspiring program in the auditorium, and manned exhibition booths.

Industrial companies, as well as associations and institutions concerned with the topics of circular economy and sustainability will have the opportunity to present themselves on the platform from April 13–16, 2021. Among them are exhibitors from the fields of machinery, processing equipment, plastics recycling, process management, sustainability, and consulting. Thus, D-Expo Circular Economy creates the opportunity to inform, get informed, and exchange ideas first-hand about important innovations and trends as well as new products and offers, independent of location.

In the auditorium, an inspiring program with web conferences, interviews and presentations on the topic of circular economy will be broadcast via livestream on innovations and trends. After each presentation, individual questions can be put to the experts. Presentation files will be available as “video-on-demand“ on the event‘s website following the fair.

„Following the success of D-Expo Plastics in the fall of 2020, we are going one step further with D-EXPO Circular Economy,“ explains Michael Justus, Head of Business Development at Hanser. „Due to the international visitor response in the fall and at the request of many exhibitors, we are now hosting an English-language trade fair. I am pleased to have Gardner Business Media as our US cooperation partner for this. It is also particularly important to us to give a forum to efforts to build a sustainable plastics industry,“ says Justus.

The digital trade fair offers direct communication between visitors and exhibitors with live interaction and manned booths. D-EXPO Circular Economy stands for 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 other attendees directly via chat. After each presentation in the auditorium, individual questions can be put to the experts.
