High energy costs, volatile raw material prices, and geopolitical tensions are currently placing significant strain on the European plastics industry. Still, K 2025 exhibitors will present innovations advancing the shift toward a circular economy, such as new recycling technologies, AI-driven production systems, and high-performance plastics made from bio-based materials.

“K is like a World Expo for plastics,” says Dr. Christine Bunte from Plastics Europe Deutschland, the association of plastics manufacturers. “It showcases the evolution of the European plastics industry and its growing importance for major sectors like packaging, automotive, electrical and electronics, healthcare, and construction. Our goal is to shift away from fossil resources toward a climate-neutral circular economy, and K 2025 will highlight many examples of how this transformation can be achieved.”
