The development vision of the plastics and rubber industry revolves around creating a better and sustainable life for people. For this reason, the ESG Pavilion gathers exhibitors to display innovative products in eight categories that are closely linked to sustainable development. The theme areas include recycling, shoe material application, ecological environment materials, health care, green energy and transportation, city and construction, as well as food packaging and water supply. All kinds of unique plastic and rubber sustainable materials are displayed simultaneously on site, and a Sustainable Tree Interactive Area Sustainable Tree Interactive Area communicates a shared vision of sustainability with industry professionals.
