New International Plastics Design Competition Debuts at NPE2009

Designers and manufacturers of components and finished products will display their most innovative achievements before tens of thousands of plastics professionals, June 22-26, at NPE2009, the world’s largest plastics conference, exposition and technology exchange. The 2009 International Plastics Design Competition, hosted by SPI’s Alliance of Plastics Processors, will be the first competition open to any product, any end-use market, and any country. Located in the new West Hall of McCormick Place, the International Plastics Design Competition will be the focal point of Technology Central@NPE2009 and feature new design categories and awards—from bio-process systems, innovative packaging applications and medical products to sustainability, nanotechnology, energy efficiency and bio-based materials.

Participants will benefit from dramatically increased exposure with their designs on display before tens of thousands of plastics industry professionals at NPE. Entrants will also receive extensive pre-, onsite and post-event press coverage. Winning companies will be invited to a special press breakfast with members of the plastics industry trade press.
