ChinaPlas 2021 set for Shenzhen

The 34th edition of ChinaPlas has been rescheduled to April 13-16, 2021, at a new venue: the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center in that southern Chinese city, adjacent to Hong Kong.

The event’s organizer says this will be the first time for ChinaPlas to be held in Shenzhen. Starting in 2021, the trade fair will alternate between Shenzhen (odd years) and its traditional home of Shanghai (even years).

Organizer Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. held a press conference in late June 23, using online video conferencing tools to interact with more than 100 Chinese and international media representatives.

“Shenzhen combines China’s enormous market potential and its unique geographic advantages, and the upcoming ChinaPlas will help to position the plastics and rubber industries to seize new growth opportunities,” stated Ada Leung, general manager of Adsale.

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area is “the most concentrated region for plastics processing in China,” according to Adsale. Plastic products output within the nine cities in the region reached 11.17 million metric tons in 2019, representing more than 13.6 percent of the national total.

In addition to Adsale, other organizations involved in organizing ChinaPlas include Beijing Yazhan Exhibition Services Ltd., the China National Light Industry Council - China Plastics Processing Industry Association, the China Plastics Machinery Industry Association, the Guangdong Plastics Industry Association, the Shenzhen Polymer Industry Association and Messe Düsseldorf China Ltd.
