Exciting, informative, a little surprising: that's how the 12th arburgXvision broadcast can be described in a nutshell. On 19 May 2022, Peter Barlog, Managing Partner of Barlog Plastics GmbH, Gerhard Böhm, Arburg Managing Director Sales and Service, and Dr.-Ing. Philipp Kloke, Application and Process Development at Arburg, discussed the topic of "Plastic as an innovation driver - new materials and what they bring!" In this context, there was also a lot of talk about recycling, sustainability and energy issues. But because everything is connected to everything else, these topics are so closely linked that it is difficult to separate them.
