Topic of the first K-Talk: "Climate protection and plastics - do they go together?"
Outlook, orientation, explosive topics +++ exciting live discussion rounds with industry experts, users and representatives from the media and politics +++ K-Talk enables global dialogue even before the big leading trade fair in autumn +++ on-demand service
On 19 October this year, K 2022, The World's No. 1 Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber, will open its doors for eight days. For the 22nd time, K in Düsseldorf will be the performance barometer for the entire industry and its global marketplace for innovations.
K 2022 already offers a real highlight to get you in the mood for the big industry event: the new K-Talk. For the first time on 20 January and then once a month until the fair in autumn, the KTalk offers exciting discussion rounds with changing international participants, such as industry experts, scientists, representatives of the user industries, politics, media or NGOs. The K-Talk provides valuable insights, focuses on the application areas of plastics, highlights technological innovations and discusses current challenges of the industry such as the circular economy, climate protection and digitalisation. Whether concrete best practice examples or long-term strategies for the future - the visions and different perspectives of the discussion participants are intended to inspire, provide orientation and encourage international exchange.
The K-Talk will be broadcast live via k-online.com and will last 45 to 60 minutes at most. The international format will be in English. Active exchange is desired, so questions can be submitted via the chat function throughout the talk. The last quarter of an hour of the K-Talk will then be devoted exclusively to answering the audience's questions.
K-Talk premiere on 20 January 2022
For its premiere on 20 January 2022, K-Talk will pose the question at 3 pm (CET): "Climate protection and plastics - do they go together?"
