In recent years, the crisis of plastic pollution in the natural environment has significantly come to the attention of the public. The mass amount of plastic waste covered acre after acre of land fields, gradually replacing marine life from shallow beaches to the bottom of the Challenger deep. According to IAEA’s estimate, by 2050, more artificial waste, predominantly plastic waste will conquer the ocean, surpassing the number of fish in the sea.

During a pre-K press event, Messe Düsseldorf's Executive Director Petra Cullmann announced that the main themes for K 2022 (Oct. 19-26) will be digitization, climate protection, and the circular economy, which are also the direction governments and enterprises worldwide are currently working towards. Whilst climate issue is becoming a crucial topic worldwide and biodegradable materials are being valued more, Taiwan's film-blowing machine manufacturers have greatly improved their film-blowing technology. At K 2022, many film-blowing machine manufacturers in Taiwan mostly covered this topic in the exhibition.

New regulations in many countries now require producers to use a higher percentage of recycled content in flexible and rigid packaging products. The instability of raw material prices and supplies also forces plastic producers to better recycle their production waste. With the great importance of recycled-based plastic products, the global demand for plastic recycling is expanding. Recyclers are now purchasing more advanced technologies and much plastic equipment at once, as well as bigger pelletizing extruders. We have different manufacturers having new developments and especially focusing on how to increase the potential as a whole of their machines. Below we mention some examples of manufacturers and their latest developments, all going in the same direction and taking care of what international customers are concerned about, such as an increase in output, multi-purpose recycling machines, higher efficiency, and also lower maintenance costs.

After the outbreak of the pandemic, although many orders of products and equipment were affected and delayed, there were some manufacturers became beneficiaries. For example, the pandemic prevention products such as masks, plastic gloves, or medical-grade parts saw a dramatic rise in the production industry. In the past three years, business travel and visits around the world have ceased almost entirely. Many Taiwanese companies have utilized this period of time to invest in manpower and resource research and development, which will be demonstrated in this year's K Show. *High-precision Die Processing Capability, GMA Wins the Favor of European Customers *Botheven Machinery Launched the Market's First Innovative Knitting Machine, which is More Automated and In Line with the Modern Trend *Quick Reaction, from a Stationery Machine Manufacturer to an Expert Mask Machine Manufacturer *Focus on the Design of each Unit, Stacking out the Big Upgrade of the Machine *From Transportation Protective Buffer Material to Electronics, Agriculture, and Stationery, Bubble Film is Widely Used *Proportional Valves Suitable for Various Industries to Supply the Needs of Industry 4.0 and the Medical Industry *PAL Breaks Through the Sealing Melting Point of Biodegradable Materials, Accurate and Stable
