Promoting more diversity in the industry, fostering young talents and creating better perspectives: K 2025 in Düsseldorf, makes a powerful statement with a dedicated event for women. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from others’ experiences and build valuable networks.

K 2025, the trade fair of the plastics and rubber industry, has set out to tackle the central challenges of our time and present concrete solutions from 8 to 15 October in Düsseldorf. This aim is also reflected by its guiding topics. One of them reads “Embracing Digitalisation”.

With over 90 percent of raw materials still not being recycled, the shift toward a circular economy is gaining urgency. Around the world, countries are taking varied approaches to promote plastics circularity — ranging from strict regulation in Europe to infrastructure-focused strategies in Asia and fragmented efforts in the Americas.

Mid-January sees the exhibitor database for K 2025 go online. Now completely booked up, this trade fair of the plastics and rubber industry will once again stand out with its participation of international market leaders along the value chain.

The 9th plast & printpack alger will be held at Safex Alger from 24 to 26 February 2025. After its success in 2024 the trade fair will switch to an annual cycle now.

The next “Plastics Hall of Fame Class” will take place at K 2025 in Düsseldorf. Outstanding achievements by individuals in the plastics industry will be honored. Nominations can be submitted now.
