More than 150,000 visitors came to the first post-pandemic international trade fair for the plastics and rubber industries in Shenzhen, China.

Chinaplas 2021 Concluded with Great Success

PlasticsEurope plans to significantly increase investment in chemical recycling: from EUR 2.6 billion in 2025 to EUR 7.2 billion in 2030. To further accelerate investments in this key technology and the transition towards a circular economy, the Association calls for a strong policy and regulatory framework.

1.2 million t of recycled plastics is the industry’s target for chemical recycling in 2025. By 2030, this figure is expected to rise to 3.4 million t per year

The Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE), the pan-European exhibition and conference dedicated to plastics recycling, returns to the RAI Amsterdam, The Netherlands on 4–5 November 2021.

“PRSE has cemented its position as the focal point for plastics recycling in Europe,” said Matt Barber, PRSE Event Director at Crain Communications. “By moving to Hall 12 at the RAI this year, we have been able to accommodate demand for more exhibition space from more exhibitors and expand the floorplan to over 8000 m2.”

During its annual member assembly, Amaplast, the Italian national trade association of some 170 manufacturers of plastics and rubber processing machinery, equipment, and moulds, confirmed President Dario Previero and the Vice Presidents Gabriele Caccia and Massimo Margaglione for the two-year term 2021–2023 and gives an outlook on Italian industry figures.

Amaplast held its annual member assembly on Thursday, 16 September 2021 at the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo in Arese (Milan)

The Theme Color of the Show Is Green

Over the last year, the German branch of the Association of Plastics Manufacturers, PlasticsEurope Deutschland, consistently advocated the technology of chemical recycling. Meanwhile, chemical recycling has not only been criticized by environmental organizations but also from parts of the industry. Kunststoffe interviewed Ingemar Bühler, CEO of the Association, about this criticism and the competition between mechanical and chemical recycling. In the interview, Bühler also addresses further requirements for a circular economy with plastics and explains why he considers a label for plastics products a sensible idea.

“There’s No Point in Arguing over Chemical versus Mechanical Recycling”

How a national industry show became the world‘s leading trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry.

165,000 visitors marveled the „Wunder der Kunststoffe“ at its premiere in 1952.

A World Career Made in Germany

From May 3 to 6, 2022, Milan will host Greenplast for the first time, an exhibition/convention dedicated to materials, technologies, and converting processes for plastics and rubber, with a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability, recovery and recycling of materials, and energy efficiency.

Promaplast srl presents Greenplast, a new exhibition/convention dedicated to materials, technologies, and converting processes for plastics and rubber, with a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability, recovery and recycling of materials, and energy efficiency.

Illustrate and promote the sustainability of a versatile and key material in daily consumption: plastic. This is the motivation for a new exhibition and convention responding to the need to describe and share best practices in the plastics industry to benefit the environment.

New Event for the Plastics and Rubber Industry in Milan

From the 3rd to the 6th of May 2022, Fiera Milano will host the entire plastics and rubber industry in Rho-Pero in an event dedicated to innovative solutions to boost environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, options for reducing, reusing and recycling, and progress towards a circular economy. Companies in the industry have been investing in these areas for years, leading the way as dynamic market players.

Greenplast, organized by Promaplast srl, will allow all interested operators – Italian and non-Italian – to evaluate plastics and rubber processing technologies and the new Industry 4.0 paradigm with an emphasis on the made-in-Italy, which has stood out all over the world for its hi-tech solutions ever since the awakening of an environmental awareness (many years ago and especially in the more developed countries).

Solutions for Environmental Sustainability

Italian and international companies will have the chance to show their innovative solutions for environmental sustainability in the halls of the fairgrounds:

<ul><li>Virgin, low-impact, low-carbon-footprint raw materials, secondary raw materials, biopolymers, additives</li><li>Semi-finished and finished products made from innovative, recycled, or biologically sourced materials</li><li>Machinery, equipment, and systems that combine low energy consumption with high performance, high-efficiency processing and are able to use innovative, recycled and/or biologically sourced materials</li><li>Systems and machinery for the selection, processing, and recycling of plastics and rubber, both in-line and post-consumption</li><li>Support and consulting services for plastics and rubber production generally (from injection molding to extrusion, from blow molding to thermoforming, etc.) and recovery and recycling</li><li> Public corporations, consortia, and organizations active in plastics and rubber recycling.</li></ul>

Greenplast will feature an international conference, hosting renowned speakers who will discuss key issues relating to the trade fair: environmental sustainability and the circular economy, especially as they relate to packaging and plastic products.

The event will be held in parallel with Ipack-IMA, international exhibition for the packaging industry. The concomitance of the two events is anything but casual: the affinity between the packaging and plastics industries is affirmed by the fact that some 50 % of all packaging is made using plastics (trays, bottles, film, etc.), and demand by consumers of packaging for environmentally sustainable products is only growing. The simultaneity of both events will thus make it possible to combine the presentation of two different yet highly complementary production spheres.

The project will thus promote occasions for contact and development, bringing visitors, especially international ones, into contact with a complete spectrum, thanks to the transversal nature of the two exhibitions and the experience of their respective organizers, backed by the trade associations of the two macro-sectors represented: Amaplast (Italian Plastics and Rubber Processing Machinery and Moulds Manufacturers Association) and Ucima (Italian Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Association).
