Bioplastics were again present in a special Bioplastics Zone.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A highly successful CHINAPLAS 2017 concluded its four-day run on 19 May in Guangzhou. Buoyed by very good weather and the plastics and rubber industries\u2019 positive economic outlook, attendees generally projected an extremely upbeat attitude throughout the show.<\/p>\n<p>About 27 exhibitors presented their bioplastics related products and services in the bioplastics Zone in Hall 12.2.. Among these still a few companies selling additives to make PE, PP or PET biodegradable or selling PE, PP with starch, claiming their products to be partly biodegradable. The good news is, that the number is getting smaller year by year.<\/p>\n<h3>A record-breaking show<\/h3>\n<p>CHINAPLAS 2017 broke three different records \u00ac\u2013 for total number of visitors, the single-day number of visitors, and total exhibition area \u2013 eclipsing the performance of all previous 30 editions of the show. A total of 155,258 trade visitors from 154 countries and regions attended the show held on May 16-19. Compared with the previous Guangzhou edition, held in 2015, this year\u2019s event posted a remarkable jump of more than 21% in the number of total visitors.<\/p>\n<p>CHINAPLAS 2017 also set a new record on Day 2, with 56,347 investment-oriented visitors, marking the highest number of visitors on any single day in the show\u2019s history. Ms. Ada Leung, General Manager of Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd., CHINAPLAS organizer, was delighted by the results. \u201cI have never seen such a vast number of visitors before,\u201d she said, noting that all 26 exhibition halls were packed with participants. \u201cMost of our exhibitors were satisfied with the result,\u201d added Leung, further suggesting that, \u201cTo some extent, this implies China\u2019s economy has bounced back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition area of 250,000 square meters, meanwhile, represented the largest amount of exhibit space in CHINAPLAS\u2019 history. The show attracted more than 3,400 exhibitors from 38 countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to thank my team for their dedicated devotion to CHINAPLAS,\u201d Leung said. \u201cThey are so passionate in promoting the show!\u201d Special thanks, she continued, goes to Adsale\u2019s cooperation partners, for their prolonged and sincere assistance in making the event a success. Moreover, the \u201cnew normal\u201d of the Chinese economy \u2013 marked by accelerated efforts to upgrade and transform entire industries \u2013 also was a factor, she said, noting that \u201cCHINAPLAS provides a platform for technology innovation and helps industries to move further up the value chain.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Visitor profile and comments<\/h3>\n<p>CHINAPLAS continues to become more international, as indicated by the 2017 fair\u2019s number of overseas visitors, which soared to 40,048 visitors, accounting for 25.8% of the total. They came from 153 countries and regions such as Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Russia, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Patrick Schmutz, Director Asia-Pacific Procurement for Quadrant Plastic Composites AG, said: \u201cThe quality of CHINAPLAS continues to rise quickly. Many years ago, low-end machines dominated the show, but now, high-end and advanced machinery is the norm. The high-quality, cost-effective machinery is very attractive to Europeans!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lic. Nicolas A. Finkielsztein and Lic. Astrid Grotewold, Commercial Manager and Sales Manager, respectively, from Laquimar, came from Argentina to look for raw materials. They used the terms \u201cprofessional\u201d and \u201cwell-organized\u201d to describe the show. \u201cCHINAPLAS is very well-known in Argentina, even though it\u2019s far away from us. CHINAPLAS is truly an excellent platform connecting suppliers and buyers, and for sure we will come next year!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Nohcheol Park, Principal Engineer for Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., commented: \u201cI come to CHINAPLAS to learn about new plastics technology and to find new injection molding for manufacturing home appliances. I found the most impressive exhibit to be the transparent silicone from Sumitomo Chemical. It\u2019s good to have both Chinese and overseas exhibitors in the show.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>New Shanghai venue in 2018<\/h3>\n<p>When the show shifts back north next year, CHINAPLAS 2018 will move from its long-time Shanghai venue in Pudong to the new National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Hongqiao (http:\/\/en.cecsh.com ) \u2013 the largest single block building and exhibition complex in the world. The show\u2019s next edition is scheduled for April 24-27, 2018. This change of venue will represent a completely new challenge for the CHINAPLAS team, but all are eager to take it on with a view to delivering an even bigger and better show for the global plastics and rubber industries.<\/p>\n<p>Please visit official website at www.ChinaplasOnline.com for onsite video and photos from CHINAPLAS 2017.
