Plastics Days: Value-Added Products and Innovation
As one of the largest industry gatherings in Eurasia, Plast Eurasia will open its doors for the 35th time from 2 to 5 December 2026. During the fair, the “Plastics Days” event series will bring together current industry topics, technological innovations, and transformation strategies at TÜYAP Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul.
The global manufacturing and plastics industries are undergoing a major transformation as competitiveness, technical efficiency, and environmental responsibility are redefined. Climate change, carbon-neutral targets, carbon border regulations, and changing consumer expectations are making sustainable manufacturing a strategic priority. Resource efficiency, lower carbon footprints, smart automation, and circular economy principles are therefore becoming increasingly important for plastics manufacturers.
Sustainability and Smart Manufacturing Technology Sessions
Plastics Days will go beyond theoretical discussions by focusing on practical solutions that manufacturers can apply directly to production processes.
Key themes include:
- Circular Design and Raw Material Strategies: Sessions will cover eco-design principles, efficient resource use, and the use of post-consumer recycled materials in high-performance products. Next-generation polymers, engineering plastics, and renewable raw material technologies will also be discussed.
- Resource and Energy Efficiency: Technologies designed to reduce energy consumption and operating costs will be highlighted, including efficient injection and extrusion systems, process optimization software, and advanced mold temperature control solutions.
- Digital Traceability and Smart Automation: Digital twin applications, AI-supported quality control systems, and predictive maintenance technologies will demonstrate how manufacturers can reduce downtime and unit costs while improving production quality.
Exhibitors on Stage: Innovative Solutions in the Spotlight
The “Exhibitors on Stage” sessions will give participating companies the opportunity to present their latest technologies and product solutions directly to industry professionals.
Leading brands will showcase developments in plastics processing machinery, automation software, additives, and value-added raw materials through technical presentations and live demonstrations. Visitors will also be able to explore technical details directly with technology developers through interactive question-and-answer sessions.
Strategic Benefits for Industry Professionals and Manufacturers
Plast Eurasia Plastics Days will serve not only as an event series but also as a knowledge-sharing and business development platform.
Participants will be able to gain first-hand information about environmental regulations and sustainability standards, discover equipment and software that can reduce energy use and material waste, and build connections with raw material suppliers, machinery manufacturers, academics, and decision-makers from around the world.
The event will also help professionals identify emerging industry trends and use these insights to strengthen medium- and long-term investment and production strategies.
19th PAGEV Turkish Plastics Industry Congress: A Focus on the Circular Economy
One of the key events within Plastics Days will be the 19th PAGEV Turkish Plastics Industry Congress, organized by PAGEV, the Turkish Plastics Industry Foundation.
Bringing together international experts, academics, public officials, and industry leaders, the congress will address topics including the circular economy, alternative raw materials, responsible manufacturing, smart automation, and access to green markets.
Shaping the Industrial Standards of the Future Together
Plast Eurasia Plastics Days offers purchasing managers, factory managers, R&D and production engineers, technical experts, and investors the opportunity to explore both current solutions and future manufacturing trends.
By combining sustainability, digitalization, efficiency, and innovation, the event aims to help industry professionals prepare for a more competitive, flexible, and environmentally responsible future.
Take your place at the Plastics Days event series from 2 to 5 December 2026 at TÜYAP Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul and become part of a strategic gathering focused on shaping the sustainable future of the plastics industry.
