Why Visit Interplas 2029

The plastics industry doesn't wait for anyone — and neither should you. Interplas 2029 brings the entire UK plastics industry together under one roof: the technology, the people, and the ideas that will shape your business for years to come. Whatever your role, whatever your sector, whatever size your business — if plastics is part of what you do, this is where you need to be.

A Once-Every Three-Years Opportunity

Interplas takes place once every three years, not annually. It is, therefore, the single occasion on which the entire UK plastics industry gathers under one roof — and missing 2029 means waiting until 2032 for the next opportunity to do so. For businesses serious about staying ahead of the industry, this is a date worth prioritising

The opportunity
A single visit to Interplas can achieve what might otherwise take months of research and meetings. The supplier you have been searching for may well be on the show floor. The machinery or material you have read about can be seen running live, in person, rather than in a brochure. Visitors regularly leave with genuine shortlists, quotations, and in some cases agreements already underway.

Committed to a sustainable show
Interplas takes sustainability as seriously as the industry it represents. From reducing waste across the show floor to championing exhibitors leading on recycling, circular design and low-carbon manufacturing, we're working to make Interplas a show the industry can be proud of — not just for what it showcases, but for how it's run.
