NPE2021: In-Person-Components Cancelled

AMI has announced that its four focused plastics industry exhibitions, which were scheduled to take place at Messe Essen in Germany on 1–2 June 2021, have now been postponed to 29–30 September 2021.

AMI Postpones European Plastics Industry Expos

Chinaplas 2021 will take place on April 13 – 16, 2021 in Shenzhen, PR China, with “New Era − New Potential − Innovation for Sustainability ” being the show theme. 3,600 exhibitors from 50 countries present the latest innovation of the plastics and rubber industries.

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

K 2022 will again occupy the entire fairgrounds, some 3000 companies from all continents have registered to exhibit their innovations. The leading themes are circular economy,  digitalization and climate protection.

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

Electromobility and increasingly autonomous vehicles are changing the car interior. This requires futuristic concepts combining design and functionality, which can be adapted to the occupants’ individual requirements. A good example of this is a roof lining console manufactured by Leonhard Kurz. It is particularly interesting for automotive manufacturers and suppliers, since it can be manufactured in only one production step.

The roof-lining console from Leonhard Kurz combines design and functionality in one component. The combination of the two is particularly in demand for electric vehicles.

Comprehensive resource efficiency means far more than the preservation of natural resources. It also includes the productivity factors of material, machine and labor. The plastics industry has made a great contribution to resource efficiency, but often finds itself on the defensive. Yet a knowledge of the various relationships involved provides enough material to go on the offensive with arguments illustrating the benefits of plastics technology.

Resource Efficiency with  Plastics Technology 

Rotation, shear, heat and pressure – this much is clear: These are the factors required to compound plastics on twin screw extruders. From a scientific point of view, however, the question remained until recently as to which mechanisms exist during incipient fusion along with the energy input into the melt resulting. Scientists from the plastics division at Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF in Darmstadt, Germany, have been successful in gaining an insight into these processes by using new types of measuring techniques.

SEAM (Screw Extrusion Additive Manufacturing) opens up new perspectives for additive manufacturing. The process was developed by Metrom GmbH in Hartmannsdorf, together with the Fraunhofer Institute for machine tools and forming technology (IWU) in Chemnitz, both Germany.

Saniconcentrate is a modified polymer concentrate that is added to plastics prior to the manufacturing process. It prevents the adhesion of fouling, bacteria and biofilm on marine tanks without recurring to biocides or any other toxic components.

Live Discussion Rounds in the Run-Up to K 2022

On January 20, the new communication format was launched in the run-up to K 2022 in Düsseldorf. Topic of the first K-Talk: “Climate protection and plastics – do they go together?“

On January 20, the new communication format was launched in the run-up to K 2022 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Topic of the first K-Talk: “Climate protection and plastics – do they go together?“

On October 19 this year, K 2022 will open its doors for eight days. K 2022 already offers a highlight to get you in the mood for the major industry event: the new K-Talk. Once a month until the trade show in the fall, K-Talk offers discussion rounds with changing international participants, such as industry experts, scientists, representatives of the user industries, from politics, media or NGOs. The first one took place on January 20 and can be accessed online as all others later. K-Talk provides valuable insights, focuses on the application areas of plastics, highlights technological innovations and discusses current challenges of the industry such as circular economy, climate protection and digitalization. Whether concrete best practice examples or long-term strategies for the future – the visions and different perspectives of the panelists are intended to inspire, provide orientation and encourage international exchange.

The K-Talk will be broadcast live via k-online.com and will each last 45 to a maximum of 60 minutes. The international format is in English. The last quarter of an hour of K-Talk is then devoted exclusively to answering questions from the audience, which can be submitted throughout the talk via the chat function.

For its premiere on January 20, 2022, K-Talk posed the question: “Climate protection and plastics – do they go together?” Panelists were Ulrich Reifenhäuser, CSO Reifenhäuser Group, Chairman of the Plastics and Rubber Division of VDMA and Chairman of the K Exhibitor Advisory Board; Don Loepp, Editorial Director of the Global Polymer Group at Crain Communications and Editor of Plastics News (USA); and Dr. Feliks Bezati, Global Circular Packaging Director Mars, Incorporated (NL). The K-Talk was moderated by Guido Marschall.

Participation in the K-Talk is free of charge. The topics and dates of the next session can be found <a href="https://www.k-online.com/en/Home/K-Talk_Climate_protection_and_plastics" target="_blank">here</a>. For those who missed a K-Talk, K 2022 here also offers an on-demand service, i.e. the respective K-Talk can still be accessed after the live event.
