00:08 Five years ago, the last edition, which recorded the presence of 3,500 companies from 55 countries,

00:15 welcomed 63,000 visitors from 117 countries to the Tournaplast, the largest international

00:21 plastic and rubber industry show in Europe.

00:25 The four-day event, dedicated to the themes of sustainability, innovation and business,

00:30 was inaugurated with the Sustainability 5.0 Convention of Plastic,

00:35 scenarios and evolutions from production to the end of life.

00:39 Our exhibitors, which are 1,200, occupy an area of about 46,000 square meters,

00:46 which comes from 35 countries, are here today to present, after five years,

00:51 their innovative technologies, which are all about sustainability,

00:55 smart machinery, recovery, biodegradable materials,

00:59 processability, everything that goes in the ecological direction, which is so important today.

01:04 The 19th edition of the Hermès is an opportunity to touch with the hands

01:08 the most innovative technological proposals for the industry market of plastic and rubber,

01:13 and to discuss circularity, energy savings, new production paradigms,

01:18 emissions reduction and environment protection.

01:21 As regards the reduction of environmental impact in the plastic sector,

01:26 we can say that we eliminate plastic, we eliminate packaging,

01:30 or, in another way, we improve the type of packaging we use,

01:36 we optimize the collection we do and create a circular system

01:39 for which we can have a form of use of plastic material

01:45 that is compatible with the environment, with economic activities

01:49 and with the needs of people's comfort, convenience and hygiene.

01:54 With more than 400 companies in the Italian territory,

01:57 the processing of plastic materials and rubber is an important sector

02:01 for the boot manufacturer, with a significant weight also from the export point of view.

02:07 The system of companies that work on plastic is something that characterizes us at the European level,

02:16 that makes us an advanced point at the European level,

02:20 and that naturally also leads us to pay attention to innovation,

02:25 because innovation means having plastic that is increasingly biodegradable

02:30 or, in any case, having mechanisms on the other side of non-dispersion,

02:35 because certainly one of the fundamental issues that we must address

02:39 is that of recovery, recovery that we do with recycling,

02:45 because Italy is the leading country in the European area in terms of recycling waste,

02:53 but on the other hand it is not yet enough.
