From 2 to 5 June, Fira Barcelona, Gran Via will host the launch of Equiplast’s own congress. Thirty sessions will take place within the Rethinking Plastic activities area involving over 100 speakers and the participation of the main organisations in the Spanish plastics ecosystem. The programme will be structured around four axes: circular economy, recycling, advanced materials and digitalisation. The space will be completed with a display of products made of sustainable plastic, and with a networking area designed to promote exchange between professionals.
The Rethinking Plastic congress area seeks to give visibility to good practices and real cases featuring companies using plastic industry solutions in different sectors.
The Strategic Plan for the Plastics Sector will be presented at the congress, along with initiatives linked to the reuse of packaging, waste recovery and industrial symbiosis. An update of the regulatory framework will also be offered, with special attention to the management of microplastics and the new regulations on pellets, a key element of the international OCS (Operation Clean Sweep) programme, aimed at preventing their loss and reducing their environmental impact.
Among other entities and organisations, the following will participate in this block: the Spanish Plastics Industry Platform (ESPLÁSTICOS); the Spanish Association of Plastics Manufacturers (Anaip); the Association of European Plastics Manufacturers (PlasticsEurope); the Tarragona Chemical Business Association (AEQT); the Waste Cluster of Catalonia (CREC); and the companies Veolia and Reyde Grupo Armando Álvarez.
Equiplast 2026 will also present an expanded edition of its plastics sector study based on data from more than 3,700 companies.
The Rethinking Plastic space will also include an exhibition featuring around 30 products for everyday or industrial use made from sustainable plastic. Within this framework, Equiplast will present the Rethinking Plastic Awards.
In all the Equiplast event will bring together more than 400 exhibitors from 16 countries, 12% more than in the previous edition, organisers say.
The show will once again be held alongside Expoquimia, the meeting point for the chemical and process industries, with the expectation of jointly exceeding 800 exhibitors and attracting around 21,000 professionals.
