What is Plastic Engineering Denmark?

What is Plastic Engineering Denmark?

Take a look around – plastic is part of far more products than you might think. When used responsibly, it helps solve some of society’s major challenges. But plastic also creates problems when it is used incorrectly or not recycled well enough. This is where new solutions are needed – and where engineers can make a real difference. Plastic Engineering Denmark is Plastindustrien’s initiative to focus on exactly that: how plastic can be used more intelligently, and how you as an engineer can help drive that development.
