PLAST 2026

PLAST 2026 successfully concluded after four days of networking, innovation and business opportunities, confirming its position as Europe’s leading plastics and rubber exhibition of the year. From June 9 to 12, Fiera Milano welcomed industry professionals, technology providers and recycling specialists from around the world, highlighting the latest developments in plastics processing, recycling and sustainable manufacturing.

The twentieth edition of the exhibition featured more than 1,000 exhibitors, 44% of them international companies, including around 200 new exhibitors compared with previous editions. More than 40,000 square metres of exhibition space showcased cutting-edge technologies, materials and processing solutions for the plastics and rubber industries.

Sustainability and circular economy strategies were among the key themes of the event. Visitors had the opportunity to discover innovative technologies aimed at improving recycling efficiency, increasing recycled material quality and supporting the transition towards a more sustainable plastics industry.

Cesaro Mac Import participated in PLAST 2026 by presenting the latest Lindner solutions for plastics shredding and washing. The exhibition provided an ideal platform to meet recyclers, compounders and plastics processors looking for advanced technologies capable of enhancing material recovery and process efficiency.

Particular attention was focused on the Lindner Washtech portfolio, one of the industry’s leading solutions for high-performance plastic washing. Designed to process post-consumer and post-industrial plastics, Washtech systems deliver excellent cleaning results for PET bottles, HDPE and PP containers, agricultural films and mixed plastic streams.

Visitors also showed strong interest in the Lindner Micromat shredders, recognized worldwide for their robust design, operational reliability and consistent output quality. These systems play a crucial role in modern recycling plants where material quality and process stability are essential.

PLAST 2026 further highlighted the growing importance of digitalization, automation and artificial intelligence within plastics manufacturing and recycling operations. The integration of smart process control systems and advanced recycling technologies is expected to drive the next phase of industrial innovation across the sector.

For Cesaro Mac Import, the event represented an important opportunity to strengthen relationships with the Italian market and showcase technologies capable of supporting circular economy objectives while improving the value of recovered materials.

As PLAST 2026 comes to a close, the exhibition once again demonstrated the industry’s commitment to innovation, sustainability and the development of increasingly efficient recycling solutions.
