International Plastics News for Asia

CHINAPLAS 2026 is taking place this month and this issue carries a Special Supplement where we bring the exhibition's highlights plus the products on exhibit. The featured exhibitors are among those with interesting innovations that are expected to impact the plastics manufacturing sector. A CHINAPLAS section on the Ringier TradeMedia website (www.industrysourcing.com/plastics) will bring you the latest news on this exhibition.

In the Recycling section, we bring into focus India's leading manufacturer of plastic-moulded furniture and how it has been addressing one of the most complex environmental challenges-recycling difficult-to-process plastic waste-with the launch of its second state-of-the-art greenfield recycling facility.

Medical plastics are one of the most vital materials that have to meet stringent regulatory requirements. In this aspect, biocompatible polymers for medical applications that are being used to produce implants and other medical devices are now being enhanced to ensure they meet the strict standards for such products.
