CHINAPLAS | EXHIBITION PREVIEW


The Chinaplas spotlight focuses on recycling


Chinaplas returns to Guangzhou this month and is expected to draw some 180,000 visitors. In this preview, we take a look at the major exhibitors in the injection moulding sector


Chinaplas returns to Guangzhou this year (it alternates between the southern Chinese city and Shanghai each year). The show, which runs from 21-24 May, will again be held at the China Import and Export Fair complex at Pazhou. Around 3,500 exhibitors will be there and the organiser, Adsale, is expecting around 180,000 visitors. Many of the traditional Chinaplas features return for the 2019 event with some, such as recycling, being elevated to a more prominent standing. Adsale says that this more intense focus is a response to changes that have taken place in the local recycling market since China banned the import of waste plastics in 2017. “In the past, the waste processing and recycling industry relied heavily on imports – lacking a complete recycling chain – while recycling rate and proportion of large-scale recycling are both low,” according to Adsale. “With the implementation of

the ban, it is bound to intensify the shortage of raw materials, and the recycling system of renewable resources is in urgent need of change.” Adsale says that China’s ongoing productivity


– and growth in plastics production – will also mean a necessary improvement in recycling. “It is predicted that by 2025, China will produce nearly a quarter of the world’s total urban solid waste,” an Adsale spokesperson said. “And we know that by improving the recycling rate of waste plastics, the development of a circular economy can be greatly promoted.” Other feature areas of interest to injection moulders include: Medical Plastics Connect; Tech Talk; Design X Innovation; and Industry 4.0 Factory of the Future. But for all these extra features, the main reason for visiting the show will be the exhibitors and products on show – see preview on the next page.
