NPE 2018 | SHOW PREVIEW
NPE2018 set to be largest
NPE2018 takes place on May 7-11 in Orlando, Florida and will have the largest floor space of any NPE exhibition so far
The Plastics Industry Association, which organises the triennial event, said that 1.2 million square feet of exhibition floor space had been sold to 2,150 exhibitors by early April. This is 75,000 square feet more than NPE2015, which was the most successful of the NPE events. Projected attendance for NPE2018 is 65,000 or more. Susan Krys, vice president of tradeshows and
marketing at the Plastics Industry Association, said: “We predict that this pre-show momentum will continue, making NPE2018: The Plastics Show one of the largest industry gatherings ever.” In addition to the machinery, materials and service suppliers’ exhibits, the Orange County Convention Center will play host to seminars and conferences organised by, or running alongside, NPE2018. These events encompass industry-wide themes, such as at the Plastics Leadership Summit, as well as technology-focused events like Antec and
seminars on 3D printing, bottles and other sectors. Visitors wanting to discover more on plastics recycling may want to consider NPE2018’s Re|focus Sustainability & Recycling Summit, and two newly co-located events, Agricultural Plastics Recycling Conference and Carpet America Recovery Effort. The South Hall is the location for the Re|focus Summit and also the Re|focus Zone, which show- cases the innovative equipment, materials and technology of 56 exhibitors, including: additives that increase purity in upcycling materials; innovations in bioplastics; increased use of chemical recycling; and emerging trends in solvent extraction. The Re|focus Sustainability & Recycling Summit
takes place over three days (8-10 May) during NPE2018. Organised by the Plastics Industry Associa- tion, the summit will feature speakers from leading OEMs and the plastics industry discussing subjects under the themes of profit, product and production.
