CHINAPLAS 2017 Preview
CHINAPLAS 2017, Asia’s No. 1 plastics and rubber
trade fair, is an end-user-oriented trade fair
focusing on “Intelligent Manufacturing, High-tech
Materials and Green Solutions”. This certainly includes
bioplastics. Since its debut in 1983, CHINAPLAS has
been dedicated to satisfying the demands of customers
in the key end markets, including automotive, building
and construction, packaging, electrical and electronics,
information technology, telecommunications and
medical. The last edition of CHINAPLAS successfully
welcomed 148,575 visitors, among which 39,454 were
overseas visitors from over 160 countries and regions.
As an influential event, CHINAPLAS always strives to
present state-of-the-art technology and products that
can be used to help companies in those industries to
innovate and operate more efficiently, sustainably and
competitively.
Environmentally friendly packaging is a global hot
topic when talking about sustainable development.
The packaging industry tends to adopt lightweight,
thin films, biobased and biodegradable materials, and
package constructions that resist water, oxygen, air and
ultraviolet rays. Exhibitors at the show will be displaying
examples of all such materials for the packaging
industry. In addition, packaging related machinery and
automation equipment will be centre stage, to include
injection moulding and extrusion technologies that
deliver high-barrier end products, automatic detection
equipment, and multilayer film technology.
A specially dedicated Bioplastics Zone will be located
in Hall 12.2. On the following pages bioplastics MAGAZINE
presents some of the highlights including a floorplan

Sogreen Technology Co., Ltd.
After years of accumulated research and development,
Sogreen Technology Company (Beijing, PR China)
has developed a group of biopolymer products with
independent intellectual property rights. Compared with
conventional plastics, PHA has its unique advantages:
Firstly, it has good biocompatibility and biodegradability.
Secondly, it offers good barrier properties which can be
used in the fresh-keeping bags; The third advantage is
its good UV stability; Finally, PHA can be produced with
low energy consumption and low emissions. For these
excellent properties, PHA material has many applications
With implementation of the green manufacturing, green
development policy, MIIT (The Chinese Ministry of Industry
and Information Technology), organizes the China National
Institute of Standardization and industry associations to
carry out the evaluation work for green design product.
Through the release of a green design product list,
enterprises are guided to strengthen the whole life cycle
green management, develop green production, promote
green consumption and promote the transformation and
upgrading of manufacturing. As a biobased biodegradable
material, since November 2016, PHA has entered the
second batch of the green design products raw materials
list. This means that the product containing PHA raw
materials, raw materials in the process of evaluation of
PHA parts can directly pass the evaluation. The products
can be marketed using the green product design logo.
During the CHINAPLAS 2017, Sogreen Technology
company will showcase a range of biobased products
based on PHA materials. They will show solutions of
certified compostable and biobased polymers for mulch
film, shopping bags, organic waste bags and packaging in
the Bioplastics Zone of Hall No 12.2.
