I denne utgaven

The 2024 ASEAN Manufacturing Summit: Creating a Circular Economy for Plastics in Jakarta featured interesting presentations from industry experts on sustainable plastic packaging production and other solutions to reduce the environmental impact of plastics. We featured a leading expert in this area, Pak Henky Wibawa, who offered his insights on emerging trends that packaging producers should take into consideration when designing their operations to achieve a circular economy.
This issue carries a preview of Fakuma 2024, a leading exhibition on industrial plastics processing. This year, the exhibition will present a comprehensive overview of plastics technologies aimed at digitalisation and sustainability, two all-important topics in the plastics industry today.
Post-consumer recycled (PCR) resins are finding their way in a growing range of applications. Southeast Asia is a fast-rising centre for recycling and production of PCR resins. We were able to visit the new Pan Era Group’s plant in Cikande, Indonesia where we had the chance to see the company’s production of recycled resins from post-consumer plastic waste and learned how the company has been responding to the needs of various industries.
