Innovative Materials Transform the Plastics Sector Across the Entire Value Chain

New materials are redefining the plastics sector, not only from a technological perspective but also strategically and commercially. From the development of advanced polymers, recycled or bio-based materials to their integration into industrial processes and end-use applications, materials innovation has become a key lever of competitiveness. This roundtable will bring together companies and professionals across the value chain to analyse how innovative materials drive new applications, require adaptation of production processes, and accelerate the transition towards more sustainable and circular models. The discussion aims to identify real opportunities, shared challenges, and strategic decisions shaping the sector’s future. The future of the plastics sector depends on real collaboration across all value chain stages, where advanced materials are not only a technical innovation but a tool to create more sustainable, functional, and competitive applications.
