Next year’s Chinaplas will be held in Shenzhen
Chinaplas cancelled due to Coronavirus
Chinaplas 2020 has been cancelled – having earlier been rescheduled from April to August of this year. The next edition of the show will
now take place on 13-16 April 2021, at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center in Shenzhen. Adsale, the organiser of the show, said in a statement: “Since the occurrence of Covid-19, we have been closely monitoring the situation. The virus is now largely under control in China but poses a high degree of uncertainty globally. China has now a formidable task of fighting against
local rebound infections while preventing the next wave of outbreak from imported cases.” On 6 April 2020, the State Council
of China issued a circular on control- ling further spread of the disease – which said that “all kinds of exhibi- tions have to be stopped for the time being”, said Adsale. Next year’s event is being held in a new venue, having previously been scheduled to take place at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. �

EuPC: “Delay single-use plastic directive by a year”
EuPC, the organisation that represents European plastics converters, has sent an open letter to the European Commission urging it to delay implementation of the Single-Use Plastics Directive by one year. In the letter, it says that the direc- tive is aimed at reducing littering – and does not account for how the ban would affect hygiene.
“Many independent studies show
that plastics is the material of choice for ensuring hygiene, safety and preserva- tion from contamination,” it said. EuPC is asking the Commission to

inform EU members to postpone the implementation deadline of the SUP Directive for at least an extra year at national level – and to lift all existing bans on some of the single-use plastics items. “The postponement will give all member states time to focus on more urgent measures in the fight against Covid-19 – by distributing also SUPs in emergency situations – whilst the industry can continue to produce all those plastic products and others that are needed,” it said. �
