The fourth edition of the World Plastic Connection Summit, the leading international event for the Brazilian converted plastics sector, is scheduled to take place April 8 to 10 at the Novotel Center Norte in São Paulo. The theme for the 2025 biennial event is, “Converted plastic from Brazil: coloring the world with design, innovation and sustainability.”
The event is organized by Think Plastic Brazil, created by INP (Brazilian Plastic Institute), in partnership with ApexBrasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency) and will highlight innovations and trends in the plastic sector with a focus on design, innovation, accessibility, and sustainability for companies in the sector.
