SK Chemicals to Showcase Sustainable Innovations at Plastimagen Mexico 2025

SK Chemicals has announced its participation in Plastimagen Mexico 2025, the largest plastics exhibition in Latin America, scheduled from March 11 to 14, 2025, at the Centro Citibanamex in Mexico City. This exhibition ranks among the top five globally, with over 870 companies from 27 countries set to showcase their latest technologies and products.

The company aims to expand its presence in Mexico and the broader Latin American market by presenting its sustainable solutions under the slogan "On-Hand Solution for Sustainable Tomorrow." This initiative reflects a commitment to innovation and sustainability at a crucial time for the plastics industry.

Prominent among the products that SK Chemicals will feature are its eco-friendly materials including ECOZEN, a high-heat-resistant copolyester derived from biomass, such as corn, and SKYGREEN, known for its transparency and chemical resistance, commonly used in cosmetics, food packaging, and electronic appliances. Another exciting offering is ECOTRION, a bio-based material utilized in spandex, synthetic leathers, and urethane elastomers.

Moreover, the company will highlight its circular recycling solutions, which address the increasing global demand for sustainable practices. Products such as ECOTRIA CR, a chemically recycled circular copolyester, and SKYPET CR, a circular recycled PET material, demonstrate SK Chemicals' commitment to a greener future. Claro, a copolyester designed for recyclability post-use, adds to their extensive range of sustainable products, reinforcing their role in the circular economy.

The relevance of this exhibition is underscored by the National Association of Plastic Industries in Mexico (ANIPAC), indicating that the plastics sector holds a significant contribution of 3% to Mexico's GDP. This showcases the potential impact of innovative and sustainable practices in a region that is heavily reliant on the strength of its chemical industries.

Ahn Jae-hyun, the CEO of SK Chemicals, emphasized the potential of this exhibition to not only demonstrate their unique sustainable plastic solutions but also to connect with various stakeholders in the industry aimed at nurturing a sustainable ecosystem. He stated, “This exhibition presents a valuable opportunity to introduce SK chemicals' unique sustainable plastic solutions and vision to the Latin American market.”

In alignment with its commitment to sustainability, SK Chemicals is looking beyond Latin America to continuously expand its global customer base. The company anticipates that participation in such key exhibitions will foster collaborations necessary to build a sustainable plastics ecosystem worldwide.

In summary, SK Chemicals' engagement at Plastimagen Mexico 2025 epitomizes a strategic step towards integrating sustainability into the industry's core practices, leveraging innovative technologies, and paving the way for a greener future in plastics. As the industry evolves, SK Chemicals remains at the forefront, ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow's plastics market while ensuring environmental integrity.
