  • LATI SpA presented its high-performance technical compounds for automotive components, underlining the role of flame-retardant materials and recycled-based solutions.
  • AQUAFIL SpA illustrated the potential of ECONYL®, nylon 6 regenerated from industrial and post-consumer waste, ideal for the car industry.
  • Cossa Polimeri Srl put forward innovative compounds in PP, PC-ASA and ABS, including versions with recycled content and antistatic and flame-retardant properties.

Contributions then followed from sponsors BESSER Group (plastic moulding with sites in Italy, Hungary, Romania and Poland) and UniCredit, with Dr Alessandro Paoli (Head of UniCredit International Center Italy), underlining the importance of financial support and of an integrated production chain.
