Global plastics and rubber industry jointly active for climate protection, circular economy and digitalisation

Wednesday 16. February 2022 - Nowhere else is the plastics and rubber industry gathered in one place with such a high degree of internationality and thus has the ideal conditions for intensive global networking and jointly advancing projects.

At the start of the K year, it is once again evident that plastics and rubber experts are in agreement: K in Düsseldorf is the world’s most important meeting place for the entire industry. Exhibitors from all over the world come to Düsseldorf to demonstrate the efficiency of the industry and to actively set the course for the future together with the visitors. These clearly lead in the direction of climate protection, the circular economy and digitalisation – and these are also the three declared guiding themes of K 2022.
The open exchange and dialogue on solution-oriented innovations and sustainable developments across national borders and continents will also be the focus of this year’s K in Düsseldorf.
Suppliers from Europe, especially from Germany, Italy, Austria, Turkey, the Netherlands, Switzerland and France, but also from the USA will be particularly well represented this year. At the same time, K clearly reflects the changes in the world market: the number and presentation space of companies from Asia have been at a consistently high level for several years. China, Taiwan, India, South Korea and Japan in particular will impress with strong appearances.
The approximately 3,000 exhibitors from 61 countries will occupy the entire Düsseldorf exhibition centre.
K 2022 is already presenting concentrated expert know-how with the K-Talk. Once a month, this digital live talk in English offers exciting discussion rounds with changing international participants on different focal points, always with a focus on the three main themes of K 2022. The first K-Talk, which already took place on 20 January under the motto “Climate protection and plastics – do they go together?”, is still available on-demand, as are all subsequent K-Talks. The K-Talk in February is all about plastics in medicine, while the discussion in March is dedicated to mechanical engineering.
The online magazine K-MAG, launched in April last year, is aimed at all sectors associated with the K and provides facts, news, stories and trends from the international plastics and rubber industry in German and English all year round.
K-monthly is the name of the new newsletter of K in Düsseldorf. Subscribers will not only receive the most interesting news and stories from K-MAG by e-mail, but also the latest information about K in Düsseldorf and the international trade fairs in the K-Global Gate product family. Registration is possible via the K homepage or the K-MAG.
Don’t miss it: The ticket shop for K 2022 will be launched in April 2022.
