Concurrent events enrich show visits

In addition to showcasing latest technologies and solutions, CHINAPLAS 2023 holds a rich assortment of concurrent events that are both inspirational and exciting.

The brand new concurrent event at CHINAPLAS 2023, “PRSI” - Shining Stars in Plastics & Rubber Industries, was held successfully with a full house yesterday. The event was organised in response to China’s 14th Five-Year Plan, which has aimed to promote the development direction of PRSI enterprises.

PRSI refers to Professionalization, Refinement, Specialization and Innovation. Featuring original innovations and specializing in particular segments, PRSI enterprises are increasingly recognized in the Chinese plastics industry. They represent a strong force in domestic import substitutions and also strive towards the international arena.

The opening speeches of the event were made by leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the China Plastic Processing Industry Association and the China Plastics Machinery Industry Association. After that, Adsale Exhibition Services Limited explained the idea of creating this platform at CHINAPLAS to help PRSI enterprises go international.

The CHINAPLAS 2023 Installation Art – Sustainability Resonator – is a co-creation of CHINAPLAS, multidisciplinary artist Alex Long and the global plastics and applications industries. It aims to build an energy body for delivering the necessity and effectiveness of aggregation, addressing today’s problems about climate change and the environment.

In the development process, CHINAPLAS collected voice messages for promoting sustainable development from over the world. Every voice cell was transformed from a piece of voice by parameter processing on computer and then made into a solid body by 3D printing technology. The cells were assembled together to build the final model.

Besides, the Plastic Recycling Experience Area at the Sustainability Resonator site offers visitors the opportunity to experience the plastics recycling process through the operation of granulator, shredder, injection molding machine and extruder. The recycled products are given away as souvenirs.

This year, with the theme “Product DNA: Low Carbon, Intelligent, Health-pursuit”, the Design x Innovation concurrent event brings together prominent designers, innovators and suppliers to present the latest trends and developments in the plastics industry.

The event features two main components, the Design x Innovation Gallery and the Design Forum, both are packed with eco-friendly, smart and stylish exhibits, as well as informative presentations. They provide visitors a unique opportunity to see first-hand how the industry is evolving to meet the needs of consumers while also addressing environmental concerns and people’s well-being.

More than 10 sessions related to the theme of eco-friendly solutions for plastics were held at Tech Talk forum yesterday, with leading suppliers introducing their innovative sustainable materials and technologies.

Today, the Tech Talk forum in the morning focuses on medical plastics and antimicrobial solution. In the afternoon, suppliers share their latest technologies in lightweight applications.
