A special show called “Plastics shape the future” will accompany next year’s plastics and rubber trade fair “K 2016” (www.k-online.com), held in Düsseldorf / Germany from 19-26 October. Located in hall 6, the featured event will showcase the latest developments of today and which visions plastics will be capable of realising tomorrow. It will do so by means of multimedia presentations, booths, shows, presentations and several public discussions.

The main focus will be on the ways in which plastics shape modern life, whether from a functional, aesthetic or sustainability perspective. Economic and ecological aspects will also be discussed, as will problem fields, including marine litter.

The special show is a common project by the German plastics industry, organised by PlasticsEurope Deutschland (www.plasticseurope.de) and K fair organiser Messe Düsseldorf (Düsseldorf / Germany; www.messe-duesseldorf.de).
