However, its event rhythm makes it the most important industry event in the Fakuma years. With its location in Friedrichshafen, Fakuma takes place right in the European center of the industry and offers a high-caliber and comprehensive range of products and services covering all aspects of injection molding technology – where Fakuma is the world leader – as well as extrusion and thermoforming, where it also occupies a leading position.

The modern world cannot deny the enormous contribution of plastics to social and economic sustainability, which has led to countless employment opportunities and trade transactions. Its lightweight, durable and mouldable properties have also helped many end-users (such as packaging, automotive, electronics, construction, etc.) to offer potential in terms of saving energy consumption, extending service life, and irregular and creative design.
However, the increasing production and consumption of plastics as well as the improper disposal of plastic waste have aroused concern about the sustainable development of plastic industry. According to the official data, in Europe, “almost 26 million tons of plastic waste generated every year, around 80% of marine litter is plastic, 87% of Europeans are worried about the impact of plastic products on the environment”. As concerns over environmental impact, plastic pollution, and resource depletion intensify, the need for collective action and innovative solutions has never been more critical. Actions must be taken by the industry stakeholders to jointly improve the adverse impact of plastics on the environment and health.

In 2023, 1,375 participants had the opportunity to exhibit their products and services at the fair, which is held every year and continues to grow steadily every year. At the fair, which was visited by 67,249 professional buyers, 16% of the total visitors were foreign buyers. 27% of the professionals visiting Plast Eurasia Istanbul Fair, which included participants from 43 countries, were from European countries, 21% from Asia and Oceania, 19% from African countries, 10% from the Balkans and 8% from North and South Africa. It came from America. At the fair, which had a large trade volume spread over a wide geography, buyers from a total of 118 countries had the opportunity to examine products and services under one roof. Industry representatives, who will come together for the 33rd time this year, will have the opportunity to see the latest technologies and developments in the plastic industry under one roof.

Returning for its second year, SPE’s Middle East Conference, Additives & Color Conference & PFAS Symposium, is being held in the city of Riyadh in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This conference is focused on the latest state-of-the-art developments, technologies and opportunities in plastics additives, pigments & dyes and masterbatches as well as stabilizers for increased sustainable performance and productivity. The event also includes a dedicated session on Per-and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAS) chemicals and what is being done to reduce in not eliminate their usage and what this will have as an impact on the plastics industry.

Plastic recycling is a critical pillar of the chemical industry’s future. Organisations are shifting their business strategies and, giving greater focus on sustainability to stay relevant. But the concerns remain the same: the scalability of the market and the economic complexity of the supply chain.

The scale of the problem expands amid the industry’s effort to create solutions.  Despite success stories, significant plastic waste reduction in the environment, and the development of legislation, there is still a long way to go to achieve plastic circularity.

Regardless of where you are in your journey, the 3rd ICIS Recycled Polymers Conference | Europe is a great place to learn, engage, and discover ways to advance your business strategies.
