Istanbul — Plast Eurasia Istanbul 2024 | 33rd International Istanbul Plastics Industry Fair will open its doors once again from 4-7 December 2024 at Tüyap Fair and Congress Centre.

With sustainability at the forefront, Plast Eurasia, the leading event for the plastics industry, will highlight bioplastics as a key theme, featuring products such as bioplastic cups crafted from recycled coffee waste. This year’s event introduces Hall 12A, a new addition to the exhibition space, where visitors can explore the latest in bioplastic technologies and learn about their role in promoting a sustainable future.

Diverse range of products

“Plast Eurasia Istanbul is not only a commercial event but also a platform for exploring the sustainable innovations that will shape the future of our industry. We are proud to highlight bioplastics this year as part of our commitment to fostering environmentally friendly solutions,” said a Tüyap spokesperson.

The event will present a diverse range of products, including plastic machinery, machine equipment, molds, recycling technologies, raw materials, and chemicals, allowing visitors to experience advancements across all facets of the industry.
