Plastics and rubber trade fairs like Equiplast are where sorting technology providers and material producers end up in the same room – which is exactly where conversations about recyclability tend to happen.
PICVISA attended the 18th edition of Equiplast, the International Meeting of Plastic and Rubber, held on October 4th. The event brings together companies from across the plastics and rubber industries, from raw material producers to equipment manufacturers.
For a company focused on sorting technology, events like Equiplast are an opportunity to engage directly with the plastics industry from the production side – understanding the materials, additives and packaging formats being developed, and how those choices affect how easily the resulting products can be sorted and recycled at end of life. These conversations feed back into how sorting equipment needs to adapt to keep pace with the materials it will eventually need to handle.
Attending industry fairs like this is part of how PICVISA stays connected to developments across the wider plastics value chain, beyond the recycling and sorting side of the industry where its own products are concentrated.
