GreenPlast 2025 is getting ready to welcome an international audience with its next edition scheduled to take place at Fiera Milano from 27 to 30 May 2025, the event serves as a key reference point for the world of plastics and rubber technologies. Its mission is to demonstrate how innovation and sustainability can coexist and generate value across a constantly evolving supply chain.
An Expanding exhibition
With around 200 exhibitors, both direct and represented, spread over 5,500 square meters, GreenPlast offers an increasingly comprehensive overview of technologies for the processing, recycling, and reuse of plastic materials.
It’s a vision focused on the future, reinforced by the presence of official delegations of buyers from around twenty countries across Europe, the Mediterranean basin, and the Middle East, coordinated by ICE-Agency and the leading industry associations.
One hundred qualified professionals from established companies involved in manufacturing and recycling will be in search of solutions to enhance the competitiveness of their production processes, with a growing focus on energy efficiency and the reduction of environmental impact. Buyers will be able to schedule targeted meetings with Italian exhibitors in advance, making their visit even more strategic.
Moments for dialogue and inspiration
GreenPlast will also be a platform for discussion and in-depth analysis of the major challenges facing the sector. The international conference ‘Shaping a Sustainable Future for Plastics’, coordinated by AMI – Applied Market Information and Promaplast, organizer of GreenPlast, will feature leading experts and industry players reflecting on the opportunities presented by the ecological transition.
In addition, the Tech Talks – short presentations by exhibitors – will provide a direct look at the most advanced technological solutions, combining performance with sustainability.
Sustainability as Art
At GreenPlast, sustainability isn’t only a technical matter. This is demonstrated by the anticipated Art&Plastics exhibition, which this year will feature original projects such as LadyBe’s creations, Plastica d’Artista (curated by Pina Inferrera), Arte da mangiare mangiare Arte and Museo Acqua Franca (projects by topylabrys), joined in 2025 by the MAP – Museo Arte Plastica of Castiglione Olona. Through art, polymers become secondary raw materials capable of telling stories, evoking emotions, and presenting new visions of circularity.
Educating the Next Generation
Education will also play a central role. Around fifteen universities and technical institutes have already expressed interest in attending the fair. Guided tours and educational sessions will be organized for them, to foster a more conscious culture around the use of plastics, their potential, and above all, their recyclability.
