The circular economy has become a core strategy for addressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainable development globally. The rubber and plastic industry is actively participating in it, contributing to the circular economy through transformation measures such as improving resource efficiency, reducing waste, and strengthening recycling and reuse. In recent years, upstream and downstream enterprises in the rubber and plastic industry chain have closely cooperated to accelerate the pace of circular economy transformation.

In order to comply with the trend of plastic recycling and circular economy and meet the needs of the industry, the "6th CHINAPLAS x CPRJ Plastic Recycling and Circular Economy Forum and Exhibition" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plastic Recycling Forum") hosted by CHINAPLAS 2025 International Rubber and Plastic Exhibition and "AdsaleCPRJ. com" will return to Pengcheng Shenzhen on April 14, 2025.

The forum has built a high-quality bridge for upstream suppliers and buyers seeking innovative rubber recycling technology solutions to accelerate the transformation and development of the industry.

Returning to Shenzhen, jointly drawing a green future for the rubber and plastic industry

With its core position at the top of Guangdong Hong Kong Macao and the heart of the Greater Bay Area, solid industrial foundation, and an open international perspective, Shenzhen is accelerating the promotion of its blue economy strategy and strengthening the concepts of ecological protection and green development. Not only that, Shenzhen also guides the sustainable transformation of the rubber and plastic industry, and demonstrates its innovation and influence in the field of recycling and regeneration on a global scale.

As an excellent platform for the rubber and plastic industry to release forward-looking market trends, breakthrough technologies, and innovative solutions, CHINAPLAS 2025 International Rubber and Plastic Exhibition is one of the heavyweight concurrent events. The 2025 Plastic Recycling Forum will comprehensively explore the plastic economy and recycling through various forms such as the main forum, three parallel themed sub forums, hot talk salons, cross value chain derived sustainable new product displays, plastic recycling innovation solution displays, media live interviews, reports, and achievement releases, focusing on hot topics such as energy conservation and emission reduction, reuse and refilling, digital passports, ecological design, traceability, and intelligence.

It is expected that over 60 speakers from multiple countries and regions including China, the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia will share insights into the plastic recycling market and technology across industries such as packaging, automotive, textile, 3C home appliances, leisure fashion, food and beverage, big health, retail, and food delivery. The expected number of attendees will reach over 1000.

Comprehensive exploration of plastic economy and recycling

The morning session of the 2025 Plastic Recycling Forum was full of excitement, from the host's speech to the in-depth analysis of industry challenges and opportunities in the trend insight section, to the sharing of practical experience in ESG and plastic circular economy by brand pioneers, and to the sharing of recycling technology and recycling channel construction. Each section closely followed the theme and was fascinating.

Especially regarding the commercial application of chemical recycling, the interpretation of the EU's new regulation PPWR, the full chain governance of plastic environmental leakage in China, and the case sharing of EPR and waste plastic management in Southeast Asia, valuable industry insights were provided for the attendees.

It is worth mentioning that the forum has also set up interactive sessions and group discussions, aiming to build a bridge for industry networking and communication, promote in-depth exchanges among participants, and further stimulate the possibility of industry innovation and cooperation. Finally, the special session of the morning conference will also release interim reports such as the "China Recycled Plastics Industry Development Report 2024", which further points out the direction for the future development of the industry.

In the afternoon, three parallel sub forums focused on hot topics such as AI assisted plastic recycling and upgrading, sustainable design guidance for new aesthetics, and green transformation of textile leisure fashion, aiming to explore in depth how technology and design can work together to promote innovation in the field of plastic recycling and reuse.

Multiple concurrent events are exciting and diverse

The conference will hold a series of concurrent activities throughout the day, including group discussions, hot topic salons, exhibitions of sustainable new products derived from cross value chains, displays of innovative plastic recycling solutions, media live interviews, and other rich forms.

Group discussion and hot topic salon

Last year, the Plastic Recycling Forum held several hot topic salons and dialogues, where industry leaders, experts, scholars, and policy makers from the recycling industry gathered to engage in in-depth discussions on the current status, challenges, and future trends of the plastic circular economy. This year's forum will continue this tradition by organizing multiple group discussions and hot topic salons, aiming to further promote the development of the plastic recycling industry.

On site event display

In order to provide participants with a better immersive experience of the entire plastic recycling industry chain technology solutions, the organizers of the 2025 Plastic Recycling Forum have specially held a cross value chain derived sustainable new product exhibition and a plastic recycling innovation solution exhibition. At that time, it will attract numerous consumer brands, environmental protection product enterprises, excellent technology plastic recycling suppliers, etc., to jointly showcase a series of plastic recycling innovation achievements and solutions.
