In October 2022, Germany successfully hosted K Show, the world’s largest plastic and rubber exhibition. It was the first exhibition in 3 years, held from 19^th to 26^th October in Dusseldorf, Germany. For visitors, this was a chance to see through the trend of the petrochemicals industry at one glance. Along with America’s NPE (National Plastics Exposition) and China’s Chinaplas, K Show is considered one of the Top 3 global plastic exhibitions, catching the public’s eye with its grand scale. Celebrating the 70^th anniversary, Germany’s 2022 K Show welcomed the participation of more than 3,000 global chemical companies from 60 nations.

For sustainable lifeㆍsocietyㆍfuture!
LG Chem develops sustainable products and technologies

  At the 2022 K Show, LG Chem arranged their exhibition booth with three core themes: Sustainable LifeㆍSocietyㆍFuture. Each theme depicted the proceeding of our daily life and society towards a sustainable future through LG Chem’s products applied with next-generation technologies. Sustainable Life Zone, for example, presented products based on LG Chem’s raw materials, such as PVC for windows and ABS for homes that could realize the humanity’s sustainable life. Moving onto the next theme, Sustainable Society Zone exhibited LG Chem products used in diverse industrial sectors. Visitors could meet LG Chem’s anchor products including the POE (Polyolefin Elastomer) for solar panels that is undergoing explosive growth and CNT (Carbon Nanotube) which boasts world-class quality based on the company’s proprietary technology. You could check out the final theme at the Sustainable Future Zone, where all the eye-catching, eco-friendly technologies were gathered. This included LG Chem’s next-generation materials whose developments are underway, such as PLA (Poly Lactic Acid), a plastic made of 100% bio raw material, PBAT (Poly Butylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate) which decomposes at landfill naturally within 6 months, and PCR (Post Consumer Recycle) products which recycle secondhand goods discarded by the end-consumers. A unique chance offered to visitors who came to 2022 K Show was the <LG Chem ON Experience Zone>, which exhibited LG Chem’s digital comprehensive purchase platform.
