Polymer Engineering Open Day: Partnerships, Innovation and Sustainability

Companies from the molds and plastics sectors have signed protocols with the University of Minho to support students on the Polymer Engineering course. More than paying tuition fees, these companies are investing in practical training and in the future of the industry. Congratulations to the companies that took part in this initiative, especially APIP members: AGI; Celoplás - Plásticos para a Indústria, S.A.; Evertis Packaging Solutions; GLN; Logoplaste; Polivouga SA; Plasoeste - Sociedade Transformadora de Plásticos, Lda. ; Plastidom S.A.; Resifluxo ; Silvex and Simoldes Plastics.



APIP was also present at the lecture series, where Joana Martins Mendes, Executive Director, and Nuno Aguiar, Technical Director, addressed a crucial topic: “Redefining Perceptions: Changing the Mindset towards Plastics.” The future of sustainability requires new approaches, based on a responsible and holistic vision, where innovation and scientific evidence are crucial factors in this equation!”


During the event and in the exhibition space dedicated to partner companies, we promoted the Sustainable Plastics Mobilizing Agenda and the second edition of the Plastics Summit - Global Event 2025! After bringing together more than 1,000 participants in the first edition, the next one will be held on October 6, 2025, in Lisbon!
