field of interest, presented directly at the booths of relevant exhibitors.
Innovative materials & forward-looking design
The Materials & Design tour with renowned designer and materials expert
Chris Lefteri is aimed specifically at creative professionals, product
developers and designers. It takes visitors to exhibitors who are setting
standards with innovative materials, sustainable concepts and new
technologies in the field of materials and industrial design. Chris Lefteri
explains which design trends he considers particularly relevant for the
future – and how functional, sensory and emotional values can be combined in
modern plastic solutions.
Digital solutions, smart processes & sustainable recycling
Greater efficiency, resource conservation and sustainability –
digitalisation is fundamentally changing the plastics industry. Various
themed tours focus on intelligent production processes, the use of
artificial intelligence and innovative recycling solutions. Participants
