CHINAPLAS Promotes Greening and Automation of the Automotive Industry


While the automotive industry is accounting for an important part in the economic development for many countries, unfortunately it also leads to several problems as well. Wastage of resources, environmental pollution and so on, all these are problems that need to be solved urgently. The automotive industry is now increasing the attention to these issues: the ways to reduce vehicle's volatile organic compound (VOC) and weight; to increase the green automation in the production process; last but not least, to increase the automotive recycling rates. CHINAPLAS 2016 is not only a business platform, but also a place for the professionals to get together and share inspiration. The exhibition also dedicates to the automotive industry for providing more professional concepts with more insights in innovation, automation and green solutions.

Low-VOC Green Materials

Paints, interior decorations and leathers on cars release VOC which contain a variety of carcinogens. The serious impact on the environment and human health has been widely concerned. The advent of coating-free plastic products avoids the problem of generating massive amounts of VOC during the spray coating process. 
Coating-free materials are colorful, and can appear as metal-like and crystal-like textures by one-time casting. As for short-life-cycle products, glamourous colors can help clients to cope with diversified and differentiated market demands. More importantly, coating-free materials are 100% recyclable, the overall cost is also cheaper than that of plastics. 
Automotive companies favor this material as it can comply with environmental protection regulations, protect the health of workers and the cost is very low.

New materials and new technologies accelerate the development of lightweight

To comply with new regulations and accelerate the development of lightweight automotive, the use of light-weight, high-performance alternative materials and new molding craftsmanship has become the mainstream.

Automation Solution

The progress of "Made in China 2025" implementation is accelerating; an intelligent manufacturing era is coming on. China Plastics Processing Industry Association President Qian Gui-Jing noted that digitalization, networklization and intellectualization are the important tasks of the coming five years, in order to lead to innovation development. As the trend changes, intelligent technology, which is inseparable from automation, has also received unprecedented attention at CHINAPLAS 2016.
