Indplas’25, the international plastic exhibition, served as an insightful platform for students to explore the diverse applications and innovations in the plastic industry. At the event, attendees learnt about how plastic is made, moulded, and shaped into daily consumer items that touch our lives, from packaging to household goods. The exhibition emphasizes how plastic, often viewed negatively, can have positive impacts when used responsibly.
One key highlight of the exhibition is the focus on recycling, showcasing how plastic (polymers) can be repurposed and transformed into sustainable products. Students gained an understanding of the importance of biodegradable alternatives, like eco-friendly bags, and learnt that plastic is not inherently harmful when managed properly. Through cutting-edge technologies, plastics can be made into products that help reduce carbon footprints, underscoring the potential for plastic to be part of a greener, more sustainable future. Indplas’25 encourages a balanced view of plastics, showing how innovation in material science can help create a more sustainable world.
