K 2025: The Power of Plastics! Green – Smart – Responsible.

K 2025 motto and key topics: The Power of Plastics! Green – Smart – Responsible.

Earlier this year the committees of K 2025 chose the motto for the coming K in Düsseldorf, The Trade Fair for Plastics & Rubber, from October 8 through 15, 2025. It consists of one slogan and three core messages, all focusing on the key topics of K in 2025:

The Power of Plastics! Green – Smart – Responsible.

  • Shaping the circular economy
  • Embracing digitalization
  • Caring about people

The slogan reflects the current values and goals of the industry mirrored by the trade fair. “The Power of Plastics!” underscores the indisputable role that plastics play in various sectors of industry, ranging from medical device technology and automotive to packaging solutions. Plastics are an indispensable component of many industries, make a significant contribution to innovations and progress and are essential to designing a sustainable future. “Green – Smart – Responsible” is synonymous with the sector’s commitment to act sustainably, smartly and responsibly in plastics production and handling.

The additional core messages focus on the following three key topics:

Shaping the circular economy:

  • The sector is increasingly based on a sustainable circular economy that promotes the re-use, recycling and reduction of plastic waste.

Embracing digitalisation:

  • The companies operating in the plastics and rubber industry are aware of the transformative power of digitalisation and employ more and more digital technologies to boost the efficiency of their machines and products and to drive innovations.

Caring about people

  • The sector is aware of its social responsibility to protect the environment. Responsible handling of resources is in focus here. At the same time, the sector increasingly promotes young talents and creates future prospects for young professionals in the plastics and rubber industry.

K 2025 invites its exhibitors, experts, multipliers and interested parties from around the world to follow its motto and join forces to shape the future of the plastics and rubber industry.

Exhibitor registration for K 2025 is still open until 31 May 2024. Read more about K in Düsseldorf.
