Further, with the addition of three brand-new zones, “Bio, Recycled Plastics & Green Products,” “Composite Materials,” and “Adhesives & Glues”, TaipeiPLAS aims to provide a comprehensive showcase of the latest advancements in the industry, high-performance products for diverse applications, and circular economy solutions.
The application of plastics and rubber are rather extensive, with the potential for replacing steel, wood, and glass. Beyond that, the ongoing development of high-performance materials are more durable, corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, and lightweight, boosts the use of plastics and rubber in aerospace, smart mobility, healthcare, and green energy.
Notably, Chen Hsong will introduce its self-developed all-electric liquid silicone rubber injection molding machine, ideal for medical, electronic, optical, and consumer products. Besides, igus will present its dry-tech bearings, which are created as a replacement for traditional metal bearings particularly in special and extreme environments. And the eco-friendly TPU resins from Great Eastern Resins Industrial features high toughness, mechanical strength, bio-compatibility, and superior performance with improved environmental footprint compared with traditional materials.
In recent years, the global plastics and rubber industry has been striving for low carbon approaches. At TaipeiPLAS 2024, visitors can not only dig into the industry’s sustainable and green supply chain but gain insights from industry leaders. As a result, the “Visionary and Sustainable Development Summit,” held on September 25, will gather experts from BASF, ARBURG, WITTMANN, REMONDIS, Victor Taichung, Formosa Plastics, and Eternal Materials to share their experiences in low carbon transformation , said by TaipeiPLAS
