The dynamics of the industry and full support from exhibitors make the comeback of Taipei Plas possible, said Chairman James Huang. In the past four years, Taiwan plastics, rubber and shoe-making machinery manufacturers have demonstrated extraordinary resilience in a volatile global market. In line with that, this year Taipei plas features three trends: “Smart Machinery,” “Next-gen Materials,” and “Circular Economy.” Up until recently, the plastics and rubber industry is particularly making positive and quick response by accelerating green and digital transformation.
Chairman Wei pointed out that Taiwan’s plastics, rubber and shoe-making machinery industries are renowned for outstanding flexibility, reliability and customization. Beyond that, the smart technologies developed by Taiwan manufacturers can help customers all over the world reduce production costs and carbon footprint at the same time. “Smart Machinery is the best approach to achieve carbon neutrality,” said Wei.
In addition, Taipei Plas launches a “ESG Pavilion,” which gathers ten leading chemical material companies to present eco-friendly materials and circular economy solutions. Overall, the spotlight will be shed on “Sustainability Forum” on September 28, the second show day. Speeches and panels led by Siemens, BASF, FKI, FCS, LCY Chemical, FENC Polyester Business, ZwickRoell, Plastics Industry Development Center, etc., will inspire us more on building sustainability for the next generations.
