Chinaplas showcases Green, Smart, and High-Tech solutions for sustainable plastics and rubber industries
China remains crucial in global economic growth, with a steadily expanding Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) and confidence in meeting growth targets, solidifying its position as a powerhouse in the global economy. In November 2024, the PMI of China's manufacturing industry reached 50.3%, an increase for three consecutive months, indicating an accelerating pace in the expansion of the manufacturing industry, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China.
Building upon this momentum, Chinaplas 2025, themed "Transformation • Collaboration • Sustainability," will take place at Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Centre, PR China, on April 15-18, 2025. Expanding from its 2023 edition in Shenzhen, Chinaplas 2025 will host over 4,000 international exhibitors, with 380,000 sqm of space across all 19 halls, showcasing the latest innovations in plastics and rubber solutions. Together with nine country/region pavilions, Chinaplas 2025 will facilitate collaboration along the upstream and downstream industry chains, leading the way with green, smart and high-tech solutions to drive high-quality industrial growth.
Green: innovating for circular economy
Sustainability and environmental awareness have become global industry trends. In the dynamic landscape of the plastics and rubber industries to be showcased at Chinaplas 2025, the concept of a circular economy will continue to be one of the key focuses of the exhibition, highlighting the industry's commitment to sustainability and resource efficiency. By emphasising the reuse of resources to minimise waste and stimulate economic growth, the exhibition will demonstrate a clear dedication to addressing environmental challenges.
This focus aligns seamlessly with China's progressive policies promoting sustainability and recycling initiatives, reflecting the industry's proactive stance towards a more sustainable future. Suppliers in the plastics and rubber industries are consistently unveiling biodegradable materials, recycling, and sustainable solutions as they actively propel efforts toward a circular economy.
