Summary

In the EU industry, the industry is under great pressure and in crisis. Statistically speaking, the plastics processing industry has continued its decline in sales. In order to protect the fluoropolymers, plastics processors have made demands for growth agendas and the start of data collection on the new material flow picture. The industry is not only reacting with protests, but is also seeking strategic dialogues as the focus is on new EU packaging regulations.

An important aspect of the strategy is ensuring safety and the environment: The Gnter Schwank Prize 2023 has been successfully highlighted with round robin tests on melamine in HPL. In addition, the pro-K board chairman Hans Weihe announced that the board would be appointed managing director in 2023. The house filling specialist group is also actively considering the demands of the GKV and discussing the future of the industry.

The current ECHA regulatory process is targeting new aspects such as fluoropolymers and PFAS. International collaborations such as the International Contact and Information Center for Fluoroplastics (ICDLI) show that the industry requires more resources to better identify and address these risks. Success in optimizing fire protection in the storefront area is particularly important. The 2024 Gnter Schwank Prize will also be taken into account in the planning for 2025. The industry's focus continues to be on climate-friendly construction and maintaining quality for future generations.
