CHINAPLAS remains Asia’s major exhibition, a much-anticipated event that has gathered not only China-based manufacturers but also international exhibitors who consider China as their important market and gateway to Asia’s booming plastics and rubber industries. Being true to our support of this mega exhibition, this issue carries a Special Supplement on CHINAPLAS 2024 where we focused on the innovative products of key players in the industry.
This is only a teaser as the actual show will offer more in terms of live demonstrations at the show floor to ensure that visitors get the most out of this event. Next issue, we will have another report on CHINAPLAS with feedback from exhibitors on market developments and the show’s impact on their companies.
Another major exhibition, NPE 2024, is also featured in this issue. As a leading trade show in Americas, NPE has never failed to highlight the importance of innovations to achieve a circular economy. The exhibition boasts of a gathering of the largest number of bioplastics producers ever.
The emerging plastics manufacturing sector in Vietnam is highlighted in this issue with an interview of a plastics exporter based in Da Nang. This reflects how the local industry has become more aware of the vast opportunities in the international market and what they should do to become more competitive.
