CHINAPLAS 2026 International Rubber and Plastics Exhibition

From April 21 to 24, 2026, the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center (Hongqiao) will usher in the annual pinnacle event of the rubber and plastics industry-"CHINAPLAS 2026 International Rubber and Plastics Exhibition". As the world's leading platform for the rubber and plastics industry, the exhibition area of ​​this exhibition is expected to exceed 390,000 square meters, with 16 exhibition halls covering the entire venue. Together with more than 4,600 domestic and foreign exhibitors from around the world, from new material breakthroughs, intelligent innovation to green transformation, it will fully empower the rubber and plastics industry to upgrade to high-end, intelligent and green, and inject strong momentum into the transition from "Made in China" to "Created in China".

At present, global technology, energy and industrial changes are accelerating. New productivity, characterized by technological innovation and green and low carbon, has become a key engine for high-quality development. "CHINAPLAS 2026 International Rubber and Plastics Exhibition" accurately grasps industry trends, gathers powerful global exhibitors, and builds an industrial innovation ecosystem with hard-core technology exhibits.

Anchoring the course of the times: Three core dimensions activate new productive forces in the industry

Breakthrough in new materials: accurately matching the upgrading needs of downstream industries. Facing the rapid development of downstream industries such as new energy vehicles, low-altitude economy, aerospace, rail transit, humanoid robots, wind power, and photovoltaics, this exhibition will focus on "material innovation-driven application upgrades" and usher in the "concentrated renewal" of advanced and cutting-edge materials. Diversified modified plastics and special thermoplastic elastomers can improve the strength and conductivity of rubber and plastic products and are suitable for new energy vehicle batteries and aerospace seals; high-performance engineering plastics provide high-low temperature and corrosion-resistant solutions for high-end equipment; thermoplastic composite materials have become an important supporting material for the low-altitude economy and the humanoid robot industry due to their outstanding advantages such as lightweight and high strength.

Intelligent innovation: knocking on the door of the "intelligent manufacturing era". Artificial intelligence and automation technology are reshaping the logic of rubber and plastic production and accelerating the manufacturing industry into the "intelligent manufacturing era." This exhibition will focus on presenting full-chain intelligent manufacturing solutions: from automated production lines for injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding, to digital management systems driven by the Industrial Internet of Things, to intelligent detection and quality control platforms, helping companies improve production efficiency, optimize labor costs, and promote the leap from "automation" to "intelligent" manufacturing.

Green transformation: solving must-answer questions in the "double-carbon" era. Under the "dual carbon" goal, green and low carbon is not only a new driving force for high-quality development, but also the only way for the rubber and plastics industry to achieve sustainable development. The upcoming exhibition will focus on presenting a large number of innovative technologies and solutions in the field of environmental protection and carbon reduction, providing a clear path for the green transformation of enterprises. Carbon reduction and efficiency improvement: Additives using carbon capture technology can directly reduce carbon emissions in the plastic production process. Recycling: Through grease regeneration and waste solvent VOC reuse technology, we can realize "waste into resources" and open up the circular economy link. Material innovation: bio-based materials, biodegradable materials, environmentally friendly compatibilizers, and toughening agents provide key support for the performance upgrade of recycled plastics and bioplastics. These technologies can not only help companies easily meet environmental protection requirements, but also help them develop new markets for green products and seize opportunities for industrial transformation.
