Plastics shape the future

The special exhibition ‘Plastics shape the future’ at K 2025 impressively demonstrates how the plastics industry is taking responsibility and actively working on solutions for a sustainable future. The focus is on innovations that accelerate the transition to a functioning circular economy – from chemical and mechanical recycling, through digital product passports, to bio-based materials.

The industry is pursuing a clear goal: the transition to a circular, climate-neutral plastics system by 2050. The special exhibition provides a space for dialogue, inspiration and concrete solutions – and makes it clear that plastics are part of the solution when it comes to conserving resources, climate protection and sustainable business practices.

Here, exciting formats are used to showcase and discuss how the future can be shaped with plastics. The circular economy, digitalisation and climate protection are just some of the topics covered.

Through new technologies and materials, the industry is tackling the global challenges of our time and developing solutions in dialogue with all stakeholders.
