Green, the theme Colour
of Chinaplas 2022
The advent of the dual-carbon era has triggered further
efforts in reducing carbon emissions. Many countries,
regions and chemical enterprises have set the goal of
net-zero emissions and carbon neutrality. Green and low
carbon have become hot topics in the plastics and rubber
industries. Chinaplas 2022, to be held from April 25 to 28,
will bring together more than 4,000 prominent exhibitors
from all over the world to launch innovative green solutions.
A lot of can’t-miss concurrent events will be organized
