Being one of four most important fundamental materials in modern industry, plastics and rubber's range of application goes far beyond daily living goods, packaging products and exterior cases of electronic and electrical products, and its application has further extended to automobiles, building and construction, medical and even aviation. However, it has been misunderstood by the public that the utilization of plastics and rubber leads to serious environmental pollution. In fact, with speedy development of technology, plus innovation and utilization of green plastics and energy-saving plastic machines, the previous properties of high energy consumption, high emission and low degradability have been addressed, whilst the state-of-the-art plastics machines make it possible to streamline the procedure, reduce the raw materials so as to realize the concepts of green manufacturing and resource-saving, and help achieve sustainable development of eco-environmental protection and development of circular economy

The attention-grabbing CHINAPLAS 2010 will take place from April 19-22, 2010 at Shanghai New International Expo Centre, Pudong, Shanghai, PR China. Focusing on the theme of "Green Plastics. Our Goal. Our Future", a series of activities related to environmental protection will be launched. "With the increasing awareness of global environmental protection, the green plastics and machines for energy-saving and emission reduction will gradually become the trend setter," said Mr. Stanley Chu, Chairman of Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd, Organizer of CHINAPLAS, this morning (March 8) in a press conference held at Guangzhou. In a move to promote the role and contribution of green machines and environmentally friendly plastics, and also create a favorable atmosphere for the manufacturers of green plastics machines and raw materials to promote their green concept, a series of "Industrial Forum on Green Technology" will be held during CHINAPLAS 2010. Moreover, "Green Corner" will also be set up, so that visitors will have a better understanding of the latest development trend of energy saving, environmental protection, recycling and regeneration technologies.
