2022 | EVENT PREVIEW Gearing up for K2022
It’s that time again: K2022 kicks off in a few short months. In this special section, we look ahead to the global plastics industry’s key event – and provide essential links to help you get the most from your visit
In just three months, the world’s largest plastics show will open its doors. K2022 runs from 19-26 October 2022 in Dusseldorf, Germany. The show will fill all 18 halls of the venue – with
more than 3,000 exhibitors from over 60 countries expected to promote their raw materials, additives, semi-finished products, machinery, ancillary equipment and services to the plastics industry. The previous K show in 2019 recorded 3,330
exhibitors from 63 countries on 177,000m² of net exhibition space. It also welcomed 224,116 trade visitors – of whom 73% came from outside Germany. Sustainability is a growing concern within the plastics sector, so the circular economy will feature heavily at the show. As well as machinery – such as
equipment for processing, recycling and waste management – there will also be multiple examples of new materials – including bioplastics and formulations that contain higher levels of recyclate. There is also a return for the Science Campus – which allows business to exchange ideas and information with academia – as well as two special events: ‘Plastics shape the future’, and the VDMA’s Circular Economy Forum. A further new element of the show is the
Start-up Zone, which will showcase new and small companies in the plastics sector. This area, in Hall 8b, will feature companies that are less than 10 years old, have fewer than 100 employees and generate a turnover below €10m (US$9.5m).
Compounding World magazine at the show
Compounding World will be exhibit- ing at K2022 on stand C11 in Hall 7. By paying a visit, you can find out more about all of our digital plastics magazines and apps. The stand is run by our parent company AMI, which will be showcas- ing its latest industry directories and
market reports, and information on our many conferences including the Compounding World Expo 2022. In the run up to the K2022 event,
Compounding World will be publish- ing detailed previews of the innova- tions that will be on show. Look out for our K Preview issues in
