PS PARTNERSHIPS AT INTERPLAS 2021!  

​With only a week to go, we are almost ready for Interplas 2021.  We are looking forward to three days at the UK’s largest plastics exhibition talking about all things sustainability, regulatory and plastics!

Held on 28th to 30th September at the NEC in Birmingham, Interplas will be over 300 exhibitors and plenty of conference presentations.

PS Partnerships will be on Stand B89 – right by the Sustainability Stage – which is appropriate with the growing requirement for technical support in the plastics industry.

Paul Shipton, Technical Director commented …

“As we start to move out of the pandemic we are seeing plastics supply chains focusing on environmental sustainability driven by legislation such as the new packaging which, from April 2022  applies to packaging that does not contain at least 30% recycled plastic, the EU medical device regulations applicable from May 2021 which now has end of life requirements and targets set by organisations such as the NHS of to be world’s first net zero national health service by 2040.

Plastics processors and raw materials logistics companies want to be seen as playing their part in preventing marine pollution in handling raw materials and we are seeing increased interest in validating materials handling processes”.

Suzanne Johnston, Operations Director, notes,

“We are experiencing an increase in support  requested from plastics product supply businesses, particularly those preparing tenders that need to include detailed sustainability information. Interpretation of terms, demonstrating credibility and basic carbon accountancy can be a minefield but building a sustainability strategy around the product and its life cycle if often the first step.

We welcome anyone who would like to discuss current or planned sustainability projects to come along to stand B89 at Interplas”.
