There’s a whole lot to discover in the 12 exhibition halls at Fakuma, which begins tomorrow in Friedrichshafen, Germany. This slide show can only scratch the surface of must-see exhibits at the plastics trade show, but we think it's a darn good start. Be sure to click through to the final slide — it might surprise you, but I think you will agree that it is, indeed, worth seeing. https://bit.ly/3UbPkAf
What We’re Looking Forward to Seeing at Fakuma

Yes, this is, indeed, brilliant and factual--such a rare commodity these days.
This is brilliant. Honest. Transparent. And the best part, changing consumer behaviour. I feel it is refreshing how WE Fashion has communicated through this disposable plastic bag: 1. Address the problem head-on - Yes, it is disposable and causes environmental damage. 2. Include buyer’s context / narrative - Possibly required out of necessity rather than a habit (this was indeed the case for me!). 3. Environmental context - Currently the best alternative, that why we offer this! 4. Educating - Since you’ve bought it, how can use it to its full potential and what to do after. 5. Triggering commitment - Sign it and live by your word! Sustainability is complex and often requires context to make sense. To me, communication around sustainability must trigger (positive) change, and this message certainly does that. I signed up to use this (and any other) plastic disposable bag until it is worn out and people stare at me 😉 .

PlasticsToday columnist John Spevacek always has an interesting take on things. In this just-published piece, he explains why it would be a bad idea to shake up naming conventions and call Hurricane Milton a Category 6 storm — a notion that's buzzing around social media — and how that mindset informs the current debate around plastics recycling. https://lnkd.in/dTPGJBzw

Tens of thousands of patients die each year from hospital-acquired infections. A new technology developed by Spain's AIMPLAS Plastics Technology Center and partners now being tested in a hospital in Valencia could be a potent line of defense. https://lnkd.in/gZ_VZtZr

Tomorrow is Manufacturing Day, a great opportunity for US manufacturers to throw open the doors of their factories to their communities and, especially, educate young people about career opportunities that don't come with suffocating college debt. Advanced manufacturing jobs are neither dull nor repetitive, and they can pay quite well! Manufacturing Day can help to spread the message! Here's how PTI Engineered Plastics, Plastics Ingenuity, and Westminster Tool are marking the day. Tell us what you have planned, and how it went after the fact for a possible follow-up article in PlasticsToday. https://bit.ly/3BDRPVs
