Plastics Industry Meeting discussing the place of plastics in a sustainable and competitive European economy

23 september 2024
Europe faces the challenge of combining sustainable development with maintaining economic competitiveness, and plastics can play a key role. The 17th Plastics Industry Meeting pointed out that plastics, including recyclates and bio-based materials, are an essential element of many strategic sectors' circular and zero-emission transformation. However, for plastics to contribute to increasing Europe's competitiveness, appropriate actions are necessary

Key to this process will be investments in mechanical and chemical recycling technologies and legislation that creates demand for closed-loop solutions. Nevertheless, conference participants pointed out that circularity alone is not enough to strengthen the European plastics industry;  major challenges, such as high energy prices and complex regulations, require solutions at the European level.

Attention was also drawn to the fact that plastics play a fundamental role in automotive, construction and packaging sectors. Therefore, closer cooperation between legislators and business representatives is needed to ensure that new regulations are implementable and support the development of circularity.  Otherwise, Europe risks being left behind in global competition.  Details can be found at  plasticeurope.org

The Plastics Industry Meeting on 19 September in Warsaw, was also attended by representatives of Targi Kielce, Kamil Perz - Plastpol project director and Agnieszka Dąbrowska - deputy director. - Many of these topics will probably also be discussed during Plastpol  as they are very significant challenges for the industry, say executives. 

The 29th International Fair of Plastics and Rubber Processing PLASTPOL will be held on 20-23 May 2025 at Targi Kielce.
