Iranpolymer\/Baspar\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>At K 2025 from 8 to 15 October in D\u00fcsseldorf, the Plastics Shape the Future show will explore the vital role of the plastics industry in shaping the transition to more sustainability, digitalisation and social responsibility.Jointly organised by Plastics Europe Deutschland and Messe D\u00fcsseldorf, the special show will offer insights into the current state and future prospects of transformation. Each day will focus on different topics, featuring discussions with prominent figures from politics, science, NGOs, innovative startups, and industry experts. The event will include interactive expert talks, round tables, guided tours of the trade fair, and networking opportunities through activities like the Startup Pitch, Science and Poetry Slam, and the \u201cWomen in Plastics\u201d event.<\/p>\n

Overview of the seven theme days:<\/p>\n

Kick-off Wednesday \u2013 The Power of Plastics (8 October)<\/strong>
\nWednesday is all about competitiveness and sustainability and will be kicked off by the opening with representatives from political spheres, business and international associations. Two sessions chaired by Virginia Janssens (Managing Director of Plastics Europe) and Dr. Christine Bunte (Plastics Europe Deutschland) will highlight how innovations and investment drive the industry.<\/p>\n

Circular Thursday (9 October)<\/strong>
\nOn Thursday everything will revolve around circularity: moderated by Prof. Manfred Renner (Fraunhofer UMSICHT\/CCPE) experts will shed light on circular-ready product design, regulatory challenges and circular business models in packaging, textiles, electronics, construction and automotive. The day will be rounded off by a panel discussion on chemical and mechanical recycling.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Climate Friday (10 October)<\/strong>
\nFriday will focus on climate protection and CO\u2082 reduction: topics span from avoiding pellet losses (OCS) to additive use to lifecycle analyses and the monetisation of sustainable products. A political panel will discuss the competitiveness of the European plastics industry as a driver for a sustainable economy.<\/p>\n

Smart Saturday (11 October)<\/strong>
\nOn Saturday digitalisation and artificial intelligence will be centrestage: \u00a0PolyMaterials, INEOS, Covestro, Netzsch, the nova Institute, rCycle and representatives from science, to name but a few, will flag up how AI optimises processes from material development to improved collection and sorting for recycling to the drawing up of sustainability reports.<\/p>\n

Career Sunday (12 October)<\/strong>
\nCareer Sunday will focus on people. Be it in recruiting through new channels via gaming or diversity, at two book presentations or the Science and Poetry Slam; not forgetting the networking event \u201cWomen in Plastics\u201d<\/p>\n

Innovation Monday (13 October)<\/strong>
\nMonday is reserved for start-ups and science: in two pitch sessions emerging companies will introduce themselves with solutions for recycling, digitalisation, material development and organic plastics. In addition, the WAK Prize will be presented by Prof. Moritzer (University of Paderborn). The concluding scientific panel will discuss the innovative power of plastics as an enabler for various key industries in Europe.<\/p>\n

Visionary Tuesday (14 October)<\/strong>
\nFast forward\u00a0to Plastics 2050: circular design, bio-based raw materials, CCU and the avoidance of micro plastics will be crucial topics. The keynote by Prof. Michael Braungart (Cradle to Cradle) as well as panels with leading representatives from industry and science show that the future of the industry is transforming \u2013 with high ambitions and concrete steps.<\/p>\n

The programme will be predominantly in English.<\/p>\n
