Keep Abreast of the Industrial Transformation
The new generation of information technology, new energy, bio manufacturing, commercial aerospace, and low-altitude economy are rapidly developing in China. The export performance of China’s “new three”– solar panels, lithium-ion batteries, and electric vehicles is particularly impressive. China’s high-tech industries enjoy a growth and experience breakthrough in recent years. In 2023, the capacity of renewable energy facilities has exceeded 1.45 billion kilowatts and has surpassed coal power for the first time. Among these, wind power installation reached 440 million kilowatts, maintaining its position as the world leader for the 13th consecutive year, while photovoltaic power installation reached 610 million kilowatts, securing the top global ranking for the 8th consecutive year. The production and sales of new energy vehicles have ranked first in the world for the 8th consecutive year. China’s first homegrown passenger jet C919 and large cruise ship Adora Magic City have marked their commercial operations.
These developments signal a positive outlook for market demand for plastics and rubber in China, generating substantial needs for high-performance plastics materials and technology throughout the country. This shifting landscape has magnified the importance of embracing the circular economy, digitalization and the significance of “Innovated in China”.
As a flagship event of plastics and rubber industries, CHINAPLAS 2024 will make full use of all 15 exhibition halls, providing over 380,000 square meters of exhibition area and gathering more than 4,420 industrial leaders from all over the world.

Putting Spotlight on Circular Economy and Driving Sustainability
Circular economy has gained immense importance worldwide as a key strategy for addressing environmental challenges and fostering sustainable development. It is of great prominence in the plastics and rubber industries, which have traditionally been associated with significant waste generation and environmental impact, revolutionizing their approach to production and consumption with transformative solutions to drive sustainability by promoting resource efficiency, waste reduction, and recycling. It encourages the adoption of innovative technologies for plastic and rubber recycling to produce high quality recycled plastics, creating a closed-loop system that maximizes the value of materials, enhancing a more sustainable and circular future.
Promoting the concept of circular economy remains an internationally recognized imperative and a key pillar of China’s economic development strategy to achieve sustainable development of the industry. Prominent enterprises and companies in the world have committed to promote recycling and circular utilization of plastics. In recent years, the plastics and rubber industries have been making relentless efforts to facilitate the transition to a circular economy.
