Asia's biggest trade exhibition for the plastics and rubber industry

CHINAPLAS, Asia's biggest trade event for the plastics and rubber industry, is taking place in April in Shanghai. With its highly successful history of exhibitor participation and visitor attendance, CHINAPLAS is undeniably one of the world's biggest and much-awaited event. It is where companies from around the world gather to launch their products into the Asian market. It is where buyers/processors look for the latest technologies and raw materials for their operations.

This year, the show focuses on the importance of building a sustainable future through resources management, recycling and energy saving.  As plastics have been known to contribute to the global efforts towards sustainability, we expect to see  durable, lightweight and versatile features in plastic products.

Lightweight vehicles reduce fossil fuel energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions, whereas innovative plastic packaging protects food in shipment and keeps it fresher and longer. High-tech plastic insulation reduces energy consumption in buildings.  Energy and resources efficiencies have drawn plastics and rubber practitioner's attention as it becomes ever more pressing issues for many enterprises to stay competitive in the world with scarcity of resources. Green technologies and industrial processes have become the promising ways leading the world to a more sustainable future.
