Basic information of the exhibition
The "2026 China International Plastics Exhibition" will be held from October 28th to 30th, 2026 at the Nanjing International Expo Center, with a total area of 70000 square meters. It is expected to have more than 1000 exhibitors and over 80000 professional visitors and buyers.
The 2026 China International Plastics Exhibition is a professional exhibition in the plastics industry, independently hosted by the China Plastics Processing Industry Association under the guidance of the China Light Industry Federation, with special support from the China Plastics Machinery Industry Association, and assisted by various local plastic industry associations, chambers of commerce, and societies such as the Jiangsu Plastics Processing Industry Association. It has been successfully held for six sessions so far.
This exhibition is divided into six exhibition halls, including the Plastic Green Development Pavilion, the Plastic New Materials Pavilion, the Plastic Building Materials and Intelligent Equipment Pavilion, and the Plastic Products PavilionmoldIntelligent Equipment Pavilion, Plastic Technology Innovation and Plastic Packaging Pavilion, Plastic Packaging and Film Technology Pavilion, with a focus on showcasingplastic pipeMaterials, profiles, sheets, various films, daily plastics, medical plastics, and other types of plastic products; Plastic resin and raw materials, high-end plastic materials, biobased materialsRecycled plasticVarious new materials such as plastic additives; Various intelligent equipment such as plastic machinery, plastic molds, testing instruments, auxiliary equipment, and other products and technologies from the entire industry chain will be showcased at the exhibition. A research institute achievement exhibition area will be set up, and nearly a hundred famous plastic and polymer departments from universities and colleges across the country will participate in the exhibition. During the exhibition, scientific and technological achievements projects will be displayed and industry university research transformation and exchange activities will be carried out, forming an advantage in the technological content of the exhibition.
The exhibition anchors the development direction of the industry, focusing on three major trends: breakthroughs in new materials, intelligent innovation, and green transformation. It gathers the latest development technologies and achievements in the plastic industry, including functionalization, lightweighting, ecologicalization, precision, and intelligence. It builds a full industry chain display platform of "raw materials equipment products recycling", promotes precise docking between upstream and downstream enterprises, and accelerates the transformation and landing of new technological achievements. It is not only a professional exhibition with multiple high-quality products, comprehensive brands, and technological types, but also an important link for industry exchange and cooperation.
Highlights of this exhibition

This exhibition will set up a dedicated hall for plastic green development, focusing on the theme of circular economy throughout the entire life cycle of plastics, bioplastics and carbon emissions control. It will showcase physical recycling technology and equipment for plastic waste recycling, intelligent sorting, cleaning, modification, and high-value utilization of recycled materials, as well as the latest innovative achievements in bio based plastics, fully biodegradable materials, bio based additives, energy-saving molding processes, "dual carbon" strategies, and chemical recycling; Simultaneously release authoritative information on industry carbon accounting standards, EPR compliance solutions, recycled material certification, low-carbon product certification, etc; The entire exhibition area will become a green and low-carbon transformation real-life model that can be seen, learned, replicated, and implemented in the industry.
（2） Focusing on new quality productivity, the high-end new materials and intelligent equipment zone is unveiled
Adhering to the requirements of the development of national new quality productivity, the exhibition will significantly increase the proportion of high-end, specialized, and cutting-edge displays, and set up a dedicated high-performance new materials zone, focusing on showcasing engineering plastics, modified plastics, medical plastics, flame retardant materials, thermal and conductive materials, composite materials, etc., serving national strategic fields such as new energy, high-end manufacturing, aerospace, and low altitude economy. At the same time, in the intelligent manufacturing and digital factory zone, efficient extrusion, intelligent injection molding, automated production lines, visual inspection, and overall solutions for digital workshops will be showcased. Multiple leading enterprises will conduct on-site startup demonstrations to visually present "digital empowerment and intelligent quality improvement".
In addition, the exhibition also gathered a large number of industry specialized and innovative enterprises as well as individual champions, showcasing breakthroughs in "bottleneck" technology and import substitution achievements, demonstrating the independent innovation capability of China's plastic industry.
（3） Strengthen the deep integration of industry, academia and research, and showcase the latest technological achievements in the industry
This exhibition will continue to highlight the leadership of technology and innovation, and build a high-level platform for the transformation of achievements. A special area for universities and colleges in the plastic processing industry will be set up at the exhibition, gathering top domestic polymer universities such as Sichuan University, Zhejiang University, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, and South China University of Technology, as well as research institutes such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Sinopec Research Institute, and Dalian Plastics Research Institute to participate in the exhibition; Multiple innovative achievements in the plastic industry, such as patented technologies, new processes, new formulas, and new equipment, were released on site, and industry university research cooperation matchmaking meetings were held to promote more laboratory achievements to quickly enter the production line and help enterprises seize market opportunities through technological innovation.
（4） Enhance the internationalization level of the exhibition and showcase international elements in all aspects
The 2026 China International Plastics Exhibition aims to achieve global collaboration, openness, and integration, comprehensively enhance its internationalization level, and strive to become an open platform connecting the plastic industry at home and abroad. China Plastics Processing Industry Association has maintained close cooperation with many national plastic associations and European Plastics Association, including Russia, Türkiye, Italy, Portugal, the United States, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, etc. During the exhibition, industry associations from more than 10 countries and regions, including Europe, the Americas, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Russia, will be invited to visit the exhibition, attracting plastic industry associations and industrial chain enterprises from all over the world to carry out exchanges and docking around global trade, mutual recognition of standards, technical cooperation, product promotion, cross-border investment, and help enterprises to explore the international market.
Parallel conferences and events during exhibitions
（1） The 5th China Plastics Industry Science and Technology Conference
The China Plastics Processing Industry Association will organize the "5th China Plastics Industry Science and Technology Conference" at the exhibition site on the afternoon of October 28, 2026. At that time, there will be a large number of industry academicians, experts, entrepreneurs, engineering and technical personnel, as well as nearly a thousand related colleges, universities, research institutes and other participants. The conference will comprehensively summarize the achievements of technological progress and development in the entire industry, propose plans for technological innovation, and lead the future development direction of the industry.
（2） Sub industry series conferences and events
