The plastics and rubber industry plays a crucial role in the packaging sector due to the numerous advantages and protective, sustainable properties of these materials. It is evident that packaging companies are not standing still and are more focused than ever on sustainable solutions. However, the growing demand for sustainable and recyclable plastic brings various challenges that go beyond just costs, quality standards, and user-friendliness. Producing under the right conditions is equally important.
Knowledge about plastic and rubber materials opens doors to innovative packaging solutions. By staying informed about new developments and material properties, packaging designers and manufacturers can create groundbreaking and environmentally-friendly packaging solutions that cater to the ever-changing needs of consumers and industries. You can explore these developments during the 24th edition of the Kunststoffenbeurs. This is the trade fair where international and national industry experts come together to share knowledge about the future of plastics.
Specialized companies in plastic packahing, labeling and more
The theme of this year, "Future of Plastics," serves as an umbrella for all the developments, initiatives, and new production techniques related to plastics. It encompasses opportunities surrounding sustainability, the energy transition, possibilities for product development, and innovations in machinery for processing and working with plastic packaging.
On the exhibition floor, you will have the chance to meet over 230 specialized companies from the plastics and rubber industry. These companies will include experts in injection molding, packaging, labeling, and recycling. They will share their experiences, use cases, and the latest developments within the packaging industry. This event will provide valuable insights into the advancements and trends shaping the future of plastics and its applications in packaging.
Lectures on sustainable packaging
Not only on the exhibition floor is knowledge about the future of plastics and rubber in the packaging industry shared, but the congress program also features various scheduled keynotes that align with the packaging industry. These lectures include topics such as 'Design for recycling of plastic packaging' by Partners for Innovation and 'Bioplastics & Packaging' by Green Serendipity.
About the Kunststoffenbeurs
