3rd World Plastic Connection Summit scheduled to take place on August 21-24, 2023, with innovation and awards for the plastic industry
Scheduled to take place in August 2023, the third edition of the World Plastic Connection Summit promises to promote even more knowledge in sustainability and innovation for the plastic industry. The event, which will be taking place on Brazilian soil, brings together companies and customers from all over the world.
Above all, the event will be held on behalf of Think Plastic Brazil, which promotes a Yearbook alongside its member companies.
In its second edition, which took place in November this year, the Connection Summit featured lectures, awards for Think Plastic Brazil members, business roundtables, and the Buyer Project.
For its next edition, the program seeks to further expand the scope of the event. Therefore, the time of lectures must be increased, while the award is expected to reach beyond member companies.
According to Camila Dantas, Marketing and Market Intelligence Manager at Polo Films, the second edition of the World Plastic Connection Summit was sensational. “It was great the segment and the way in which it established values of quality, ESG, innovation, and other key concepts for companies today.”
The event took place in a hybrid format. According to Dantas, this format made it possible to exchange experiences and lessons learned, as well as valuing projects and initiatives that are fundamental for the plastic segment.
Recognition of associates
Polo Films won third place in the Technical category of the World Plastic Connection Award 2022.
The company was recognized for its sustainable practices in its production line. “Proposing new ideas and sustainable solutions for plastic packaging are important pillars of activity at Polo Films, which is why we were extremely happy to see our B-flex product win in this category,” declared the manager.
In addition to Polo Films, other companies such as C-Pack Creative Packaging, a manufacturer of extruded tubes, and Videplast, a plastic packaging company were also contemplated by the award.
Both won in the excellence category of the World Plastic Connection Award 2022, with Videplast being awarded second place and C-Pack Creative Packaging being award third place.
In this sense, “the award helps to consecrate companies that invest in technology, the human factor, marketing, and development of more sustainable products,” explained Domenico Macchia Junior, Director of Videplast.
According to him, these were the areas that received the most investment by the company, and thus, the award has come as demonstration of a great investment made.
Expectations for the next edition of the event
For the third edition of the World Plastic Connection Summit, companies expect an even greater connection between companies and positive balances.
Camila Resegue Rosa Siffert, Sales Executive at C-Pack Creative Packaging, stated: “we hope to have more time for business meetings, as the meetings were too short to allow us introduce the company and be relevant to customers.”
Above all, the event will continue in a hybrid format and will seek to further expand the number of countries following the moment of the industry. That is because, in this last edition, it had 14,000 hits from 54 countries.
According to the Polo Films marketing manager, the second edition of the World Plastic Connection Summit generated a positive balance that fuels expectations for the next edition.
Dantas concluded, “such a well thought-out and organized event clearly generates even more positive expectations for its next edition.”
