Equiplast postponed until December
Barcelona, Spain
The decision was made as a result of the current situation generated by the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) and to hold a great edition in an environment that is expected to be more favourable.
In this sense, the president of the show, Bernd Roegele, said: "The logistical needs of Equiplast, which requires a certain time for the transport and assembly of the equipment on display, recommend that it be held in December.”
Equiplast 2020, the national benchmark for the plastics and rubber sector, will focus on the actions that the industry is implementing to optimise its processes and will show the solutions it has developed to contribute to a more sustainable world.
Its significant commitment to recycling will take shape, to face positively and offer solutions to the ongoing challenges in the sector and in the industry as a whole. Carrying out the implementation of a recycling plant with the visualisation of all processes, in addition to the great commitment to the Rethinking Plastics exhibition, on solutions based on recycled plastics, Equiplast will lead the new procedures in a changing environment that demands top quality products and warranty.
