The 42nd Far East Plastic Industry Conference (EPIC) is scheduled to be held at Kaohsiung Exhibition Center on September 15th, during the 3rd day of PLASCOM TAIWAN show. As the organizer for 2018's conference, the Taiwan Plastics Industry Association (TPIA) plans to connect the two events and sets the conference to an earlier date in order to match with the PLASCOME TAIWAN show period.

 

The Far East Plastic Industry Conference happens every two years between Taiwan, Japan, and Korea, and the conference place rotates around within the members' country. The TPIA wishes to utilize the special opportunity and invites members from Japan and Korea to also visit the PLASCOM TAIWAN Show, which is the 1st show ever to include the full streamline process of plastic manufacturing in Taiwan.

 

According to TPIA's deputy secretary-general, Chen Hsiu, the PLASCOM TAIWAN will exhibit from extraction and refining process of petroleum, to plastic and composite materials, fine products, and the related manufacturing equipments.

 

The PLASCOM TAIWAN show will highlight on exhibiting lower energy cost, reduced pollution and waste, and higher value-added products and solutions. Through better and greener production exhibited at the show, it will share knowledge to all industry members and perhaps further boost the transition and upgrade of Taiwan plastic and rubber industry. Also, the three show highlights is highly associated to the conference's theme on "high production value & circular economy". By connecting the two great events at one place, TPIA believes this will benefit on both a good momentum to the industry and a positive international promotion for Taiwan.
