Taipei International Plastics & Rubber Industry Show (TaipeiPLAS), held in conjunction with Taipei International Shoe Making Technology Show (ShoeTech Taipei), successfully concluded on September 28.
The show gathered nearly 500 exhibitors across more than 1,800 booths. According to the organizer TAITRA, the show attracted over 16,000 visitors in total. Among them were more than 2,500 international visitors from 98 countries/regions, including India, Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, Algeria and Egypt.
TaipeiPLAS 2024 attracted a lot of local and international visitors.
This year's TaipeiPLAS centered on three main themes: “Innovative Materials”, “Advanced Manufacturing” and “Circular Economy”.
Low-carbon and high-efficiency machines were displayed on the showground, such as FCS's SA series injection molding machine for optical products, CHEN HSONG's new all-electric liquid silicone rubber injection molding machine, YE I’s water-cooled plastic recycling machine, GENIUS’s cutter compactor plastic recycling machine, and the physical foaming injection molding machine by Tien Kang.
Notably, King’s Solution introduced brand-new AI Recycler-Reverse vending machine to promote low-carbon behavior in daily life.
The expansion of raw materials and composite materials zones at the year’s show underscores advancements in material optimization and the creation of sustainable materials.
Several outstanding materials debuted at the show include Formosa Chemicals & Fibre's eco-friendly Nylon 6 chips produced from recycled ocean waste, YUNGIEE's post-consumption plastic container recycling solutions for producing consumer goods from recycled materials, and the textile waste recycling technology developed by ITRI to create blended fabric building materials.
At TaipeiPLAS 2024, TAITRA also organized over 150 procurement meetings, engaging international visitors and selected exhibitors for business talks and live product demonstrations.
Other concurrent activities in the show included seminars, INNOVATION HUB, guided tours, and TaipeiPLAS Award. They offered a comprehensive display on the robust progress of the global plastics and rubber community.
The “Visionary and Sustainable Development Summit” held on the second show day was also a complete success, with over 240 attendees.
The next TaipeiPLAS is scheduled to return in September 2026.
