Green, Smart, Advance are the 3 keywords for most of the industries nowadays, including but not limited to plastics and rubber industries. Green is the commitment for circular economy and sustainability. Smart can inspire innovations and enhance user experience. Advance is the powerful tool for improving productivity and quality. At Chinaplas 2023, to take place from April 17-20, 2023 in Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center (SWECC), Shenzhen, PR China, visitors will for sure immerse in these 3 hot technologies under one roof, helping inspire new ideas and explore new opportunities.
Intensifies innovations towards a Circular Economy
There is no denying that plastics consumption – especially for single-use plastics – has created a huge challenge to our environment. Plastics industry now spares no effort to intensify innovations towards a circular economy for sustainability development.
The plastics industry has long been applying the linear model, or “take-make-dispose” approach. Circular economy concept aims to reduce the amount of plastic waste generated by applying a “closed loop” system, redesigning how plastic products are taken, made, used and reused to alleviate the plastic waste problem.
One of the main thrusts of circular economy is the increased rate of recycling. Post-industrial waste and post-consumer waste need to undergo recycling in order for them to be re-used. Recycling technologies have seen tremendous improvements in terms of speed, efficiency and cost-saving advantages.
Under the theme "A Brighter and Shared Future, Powered by Innovation", Chinaplas 2023 will provide visitors with a whole spectrum of sustainable solutions in 3 theme zones, including Recycled Plastics Zone, Bioplastics Zone, and Recycling Technology Zone. With over 14,000 sqm, 200+ machine makers and materials providers, including Erema, Starlinger, Avian, Tomra, Topcentral, Guolong, NatureWorks, BiologiQ, Ruian are to showcase latest environmentally-friendly plastic materials and processing technologies.

Plastics and rubber industries Go Smart
Industry 4.0, has created a remarkable impact on the production of a huge range of products. Plastics industry, yet having a history of 160 years, also goes smart with cutting-edge technologies for greater efficiency and cost reduction in the era of Industry 4.0.
Through digitalization, manufacturing systems for plastics industry have become much more intelligent. The adoption of smart manufacturing process in all aspects of production – from product design, actual production, supply chain, distribution and sales, and delivery – has made it possible for companies to withstand current and future challenges.
Digitalization has been increasingly applied particularly in plastics production processes. There is growing need for advanced machinery and auxiliary equipment, sensors, process control software and other products to transform a plastics production facility into a smart manufacturing plant.
In the rising trend of digitalization among plastics and rubber industries, Chinaplas 2023 will bring together almost 330 solution providers around the world in Injection Molding and Smart Manufacturing Solutions Zone with over 60,000 sqm. Besides international big names like Siemens, Keba, B&R, Beckhoff, Baumaueller, Staubli, Motan, Engel, SHI & Demag, Fanuc, Wittmann Battenfeld, etc., plenty of leading Chinese suppliers like Haitian, Chen Hsong, LK Machinery, Borch, Yizumi, CML, Inovance, etc., are about to showcase full array of smart manufacturing solutions and machines at the theme zone, to facilitate the adoption of smart solutions and technologies and achieve the targets of digital manufacturing transformation.
