Renewable Carbon Plastics is a unique platform that showcases everything related to plastics based on the Renewable Carbon concept that include biobased and CO2-based plastics, and advanced recycling of plastics.
Renewable Carbon Plastics is read by decision-makers in all parts of this business. For instance raw material suppliers and compounders, machine and mould makers, converters, recyclers, brand owners, the complete distribution chain (wholesale and retail) as well as lobbyists, scientists, and politicians – Renewable Carbon Plastics is an independent and neutral source of information.
With an average of 10,000 readers each issue of the digital version of the magazine plus an average print run of 2500 - 6000 (depending on large events, exhibitions, etc.).
