La mostra speciale "Le materie plastiche danno forma al futuro" alla K 2022, la fiera numero 1 per le materie plastiche e la gomma, dal 19 al 26 ottobre 2022, mostra quanto le materie plastiche siano cruciali per un futuro sostenibile. Illustra gli affascinanti sviluppi che si stanno già verificando oggi e che le visioni per il domani sono già in fase di attuazione. La mostra speciale comprende sette giorni tematici - con discussioni su tecnologie innovative, conferenze di impulso, divertenti dimostrazioni di progetti di fari ed emozionanti spettacoli sperimentali. Plastics shape the future affronta in egual misura gli aspetti economici, ecologici e socio-politici e mostra le soluzioni ai problemi dell'industria delle materie plastiche.
La mostra speciale è un progetto dell'industria tedesca delle materie plastiche sotto gli auspici di plasticsEurope Deutschland e. V. e Messe Düsseldorf. Promette approfondimenti e prospettive per gli espositori e i visitatori del K 2022, nonché per i media e il pubblico interessato.
