The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) continues to foster the continued growth of the bioplastics industry at its trade show, NPE: The Plastics Show. With more than 45 bioplastics-related exhibitors on the show floor, NPE2024 is the largest gathering of bioplastics companies in the Americas. NPE2024 takes place from May 6-10, 2024, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

A variety of companies will display their latest developments in bioplastic polymers and additives across more than 47,000 square feet of exhibits. Attendees can explore the latest materials, technologies and processes offering innovative sustainability solutions, while also hearing from a variety of sustainability experts, suppliers and manufacturers on the all-new Sustainability Stage and in two Recycling and Sustainability Zones.

NPE2024 provides a first-hand look into how sustainable plastics manufacturing is driving value creation for society, environment and industry. “We hope registrants will leave inspired to reduce plastic waste as they explore the latest in new end-market solutions, bioplastics, lightweighting, circularity and more,” says Patrick Krieger, PLASTICS’ vice president of sustainability. “Our first-ever Sustainability Hub will highlight leaders in sustainability and include action-oriented displays in areas such as renewable feedstocks, collection, sortation, energy-efficient manufacturing and more — you will not want to miss it.”

Additionally, made for plastic material suppliers, processors, equipment suppliers and brands interested in investing in the bioplastics industry, PLASTICS releases its 2024 Bioplastics Market Watch Report on May 8 during the show. The new edition of the Bioplastics Market Watch features the latest market data compared to the 2018 report to show the market growth figures, policy implications and consumer perceptions affecting bioplastics businesses today.

“Through this report, we hope to gain a better understanding on consumer perceptions around bioplastic products, their sustainability value and functionality within our industry, including how the bioplastics market outlook has evolved since the last report was issued,” says Dr. Perc Pineda, Ph.D., PLASTICS’ chief economist.
