Concurrent Events at CHINAPLAS 2019During the past year, the operating environment for most industries became increasingly complex. It is more vital than ever for enterprising businesses to

  • Anticipate key market trends
  • Understand the industrial structure with a global perspective, and 
  • Master technological innovation

CHINAPLAS 2019, with its aim to promote the plastics and rubber industries’ development by focusing on technology and creativity, offers an international platform for the release and exchange of information related to advanced new technologies. The show will not only feature more than 3,500 exhibitors, but also will organize a series of exciting concurrent events to address those industries’ needs.

Ada Leung, General Manager of Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd., the show organizer said:
“We saw that exhibitors and visitors not only seek to secure the supply and demand of key materials, equipment and services at CHINAPLAS, but they also actively discuss hot topics, and explore industry trends and opportunities,”

“We showcase innovative products and cutting-edge solutions together with exhibitors who are industrial leaders of the world. In addition, the show features a number of concurrent events covering the circular economy, Industry 4.0, industrial design, medical plastics, and much more. With richer content, more diversified forms, and more practical solutions than ever, CHINAPLAS offers ways for upstream and downstream members of the supply chain to collaborate and create new opportunities for growth. We aim to empower the development of the plastics and rubber industries,” Leung said.

Plastics Recycling & Circular Economy Conference and Showcase


China’s decision to prohibit the import of solid waste from other countries, and its policies designed to promote development of renewable resources represent only the beginning of some structural changes. More sustainable development and environmental protection policies are bound to come. In this new era of the circular economy, China highly values the development of the renewable resources industry.

What is more, recycling technologies are constantly evolving and improving, providing a boost to the industry.
  • How can your company realize commercial opportunities related to the global trend of resource conservation in 2019? 
  • How can plastics feasibly contribute to the cause of sustainable development? 

Focusing on the concerns of the industry, CHINAPLAS 2019 and CPRJ - China Plastics and Rubber Journal will jointly host the “Plastics Recycling & Circular Economy Conference and Showcase” in Guangzhou on May 20, 2019 (the day before CHINAPLAS 2019 opens).

Plastics Recycling and Circular Economy Conference and Showcase

Integrating conference and exhibition elements, the one-day, specialized event will feature more than 20 expert presenters, and is expected to attract more than 300 elite attendees from the plastics, rubber and packaging industries. The conference is built around three themes:

  • “Material Science for Sustainability”, 
  • “Recycling Technology” and 
  • “Environmental Packaging”. 

Key Topics in Focus


  • The production and current applications of recycled plastics, 
  • Advances in plastics recycling technology and processing,
  • The latest in environmentally friendly materials and additives, and 
  • How companies can save on costs through greater use of post-industrial recycled materials. 

Recyclers and recycled material users (including retailers and brands) will share environmental solutions and real success stories from the packaging, electrical and electronics, and automotive industries.

Industry 4.0 Factory of the Future


How to speed up the implementation of industry 4.0, which continues to sweep the globe? Industry practitioners who aspire to see in real life the operation of a future factory or to find solutions to practical problems can visit the “Industry 4.0 Factory of the Future” at CHINAPLAS 2019.

The event is a product of combined force of the show’s organizer and core supporters of Industry 4.0 – iPlast 4.0, EUROMAP and VDMA. What makes this conference different and stand out from previous Industry 4.0 events is that visitors can personally experience the real “Industry 4.0 Factory of the Future”.

There will be two themed areas to demonstrate implementable intelligent solutions:

  • “Manufacturing Intelligence Control Room” – It will be located on the viewing deck of Hall 4.2 in the Exhibition Hall. It will display operational data recorded at both the on-site machines and a remote smart factory
  • “Smart Factory” – It will be located at Booth 4.2D01 in the “Smart Manufacturing Technology Zone” will simulate the production environment of the future manufacturing industry and demonstrate how engineers and the control room communicate through data

15 Simulation Scenarios – From Production to Supply Chain


Visitors can view 15 simulation scenarios – from production, management and supply chain, including shift handover, KPI monitoring at multiple production sites, and material traceability.

Additionally, visitors can assess the progress toward Industry 4.0, and its practical benefits, by using the “Inject 4.0 Online Diagnosis Service” for companies and the “Inject 4.0 Online Application Engineer Evaluation” for technical personnel. Moreover, CHINAPLAS 2019 also will offer customized consultation.

Confirmed enterprises that will join in these activities include Engel, Ningbo Zhafir Plastics Machinery Co. Ltd, Sumitomo, Piovan, Matsui, TIG, and Monitor, among others.

Design x Innovation


Industrial design continues to be a popular topic at CHINAPLAS. For this year’s show, event will join forces with the Guangzhou Industrial Design Association to present “Design x Innovation”, which comprises three parts: “CMF Inspiration Walls”, “Design Forum” and “CHINAPLAS Designers’ Night”.

Chinaplas 2019 Design Forum

CMF Inspiration Walls


  • The “CMF Inspiration Walls” reflect three key elements – Color, Materials and Finish – and they reveal some of the emerging technologies being developed to advance CMF design for plastics. 
  • Last year, the technicolor exhibits from Springfield CMF Technology Co. Ltd. enthralled and impressed visitors, who scrutinized and touched more than 140 samples of products made using Springfield’s Differential Pressure Overlay Decoration (DOD) process. 
  • Covestro and Springfield will be repeat sponsors of this event, and the show organizer is pleased to welcome first-time participating company PolyOne. 
  • The show organizer is also increasing the number of display locations from two to three.

Design Forum


CHINAPLAS 2019 will feature Design Forums in two locations, fashioned around two themes, including:
  • “CMF Design”, a popular theme from last year, and 
  • "Design for Recycling/Sustainability” in response to the show’s focus on "Green Technology"

CHINAPLAS Designers’ Night


The show is glad to introduce a new highlight – CHINAPLAS Designers’ Night, with the theme “Connect & Inspire”. Product designers, engineers, product developers, corporate decision makers, exhibitors, partners, and others from electrical and electronics and related industries are invited to enjoy food and wine at the Langham Place Guangzhou Hotel. In such a relaxed atmosphere, let us see what kinds of ideas and possibilities will be inspired.
