A main concurrent event called "Future Zone" showcases the unlimited creativity on plastics application and aims to give audience a vivid and life experience on this future plastics concept. The "Future Zone" consists of two programs. The first one is called "Nurturing Our Future",  combines plastics and rubber applications, technology, creativity and innovations from experts among industrial, commercial and academic fields into the implementation of a "Future Car".

The "Future Car" design contest was held in the East China University of Science and Technology in the end of last year. Through the knowledge sharing by industry experts in the area of plastics, rubber and automotive, mechanics, and the continuous improvement of the automotive design of the 15 participating groups, the judging panel finally selected the champion among the 3 finalists.

The organizer has made a 1:1 car model of the champion in the "Future Zone" of CHINAPLAS 2012 at the Central Square of the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (near the North Wing). 

The second part of "Future Zone" is called "Premium Design Gallery". At the Future Zone, a large display area has been set up to showcase a series of new, unique design of various plastic-made end products.
