Extrusion International 5-2020

13 Extrusion International 5/2020 interplastica sends Important Signal in Difficult Times The Covid-19 pandemic currently faces businesses around the globe with very special challenges. Like the international trade fair busi- ness. Trade fairs have been cancelled worldwide but the industry is not at a standstill. After all, trade fairs are urgently needed for re-starting the economy as a whole. They are indis- pensable experience and communi- cation platforms for entire sectors of industry where contacts can be established, experiences exchanged, knowledge gathered and innova- tions appraised live. interplastica 2021 will be held again at the AO Expocentre in Krasnaja Presnja in Moscow. To guarantee the highest degree of safety for ex- hibitors, visitors, partners and em- ployees, Messe Düsseldorf Moscow is currently developing a comprehen- sive hygiene and infection protection concept in close coordination with the operator of the exhibition centre and in compliance with the hygiene regulations in force in that country to be employed at interplastica. Exhibitors’ brisk demand confirms that companies in the plastics and rubber industries welcome the op- portunity to gain exposure on such a relevant market especially during such difficult times. Alongside machinery, raw materials and equipment the focus will again be on the circular economy and re- cycling themes in the coming year. The Recycling Solutions segment fea- turing highly specialised enterprises was received very well at its debut during the previous interplastica and will also be continued in 2021 with accompanying discussion forums re- volving around waste management and circular economy. Beyond this, innovative technologies for all sectors of plastics processing will be showcased not only at the ex- hibitors’ stands but also addressed in the lectures and discussions at the Polymer Plaza and as part of the spe- cial show 3D fab+print Russia.
