K 2025

The VDMA is the conceptual sponsor of the world's most important trade fair for the plastics industry.

It is impossible to imagine a world without plastic. And plastics are indispensable for mastering our future challenges. The plastics industry develops solutions so that a growing world population can live safely and prosperously. This important role as an enabler is expressed in the motto of K 2025: The Power of Plastics! Green - Smart - Responsible. Green, because plastics help to combat climate change and conserve resources. Smart, because digitalisation helps to increase efficiency. Responsible, because the focus is on people.

Find out about the wide range of offers at trade fair stands, events and the VDMA The Power of Plastics Forum and get ideas for increasing competitiveness and further developing your business models.
