With sustainability at the forefront, Plast Eurasia, the leading event for the plastics industry, will highlight bioplastics as a key theme, featuring products such as bioplastic cups crafted from recycled coffee waste. This year’s event introduces Hall 12A, a new addition to the exhibition space, where visitors can explore the latest in bioplastic technologies and learn about their role in promoting a sustainable future.

Diverse range of products

“Plast Eurasia Istanbul is not only a commercial event but also a platform for exploring the sustainable innovations that will shape the future of our industry.
