May 26, 2025 – Global Plastics Summit 2025 to Ignite Sustainability Revolution in Lisbon
The second edition of the Plastics Summit Global Event (PSGE) is set to convene in Lisbon, Portugal, on October 6, 2025, under the joint stewardship of Brazil’s, Spain’s, Mexico’s, and Portugal’s leading plastic industry associations. Building on the momentum of its 2022 debut, which united over 1,000 stakeholders to chart a green transition for Latin America’s plastics sector, the 2025 summit will elevate the conversation with a focus on “Steering Toward a New Era of Holistic Sustainability.”
A Global Gathering for Transformation
This year’s event will draw policymakers, scientists, and corporate leaders from Latin America, Southern Europe, Africa, and beyond to tackle pressing challenges in resource efficiency, marine plastic pollution, recycling innovation, and ethical industry practices. Delegates will dissect cutting-edge technologies—from AI-driven sorting systems to biodegradable masterbatch formulations—while sharing best practices to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship.
From Strategy to Action
The summit’s agenda prioritizes collaborative solutions to cross-border issues, including harmonizing circular economy standards across the Atlantic and scaling low-carbon production models. “The plastics industry stands at a crossroads,” remarked João Santos, President of the Portuguese Plastics Association. “By aligning technical expertise with regulatory frameworks, we can unlock breakthroughs that benefit both industry margins and planetary health.”
Forging Partnerships for a Resilient Future
Beyond panel discussions, PSGE 2025 will host B2B matchmaking sessions and innovation showcases, fostering alliances between masterbatch suppliers, recyclers, and OEMs. Notably, a startup pitch competition will spotlight emerging technologies, such as chemical recycling catalysts and ocean-bound plastic tracking platforms.
As AsiaMB monitors advancements in sustainable materials, the Lisbon summit underscores a pivotal shift: global plastics stakeholders are moving beyond incremental improvements to redefine the industry’s role in a net-zero world.
