On November 20-21, 2023, the 6th International Polymer Congress took place at Schloss Puchberg (Wels) under the motto TRANSFORM"NATION". The event, organized by the Kunststoff-Cluster, enabled the exchange of ideas with other experts from the industry and was framed by panel discussions, lectures and networking opportunities. Club 2 deserves special mention, as it provided new ways of thinking about the "evil" plastic by offering a critical opinion.
