Technical Visits
These visits are coordinated to maximize transparency and trust between international buyers and companies associated with Think Plastic Brazil, facilitating a thorough assessment of the productive capacities, innovations, and commitments to sustainable and governance (ESG) practices of Brazilian companies.
After the negotiation rounds of the Buyers Project International Show, a unique opportunity arises: the Technical Visits. These visits are organized for buyers who, during the negotiations, express interest in getting a closer look at the operations of Brazilian companies. Often, these visits begin to be organized even before the business rounds (meetings) take place. Visiting the factories allows international buyers to see firsthand the production environment, the technology employed, the attention to cleanliness, investments in state-of-the-art equipment, and the sustainable practices adopted.

FAQs
Find out more about the World Plastic Connection Summit and the eight projects that are part of the ecosystem.
The World Plastic Connection Summit emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic as a response to the need to create an internationalization ecosystem that would allow access to foreign markets in an innovative way. After all, during this period, it became clear that companies needed new channels and platforms to overcome barriers to trade and communication. In this way, the event was conceived to be the epicenter of growth and development strategies for Brazil’s plastics industry through an integrated set of projects and initiatives.
More than simply generating business, the World Plastic Connection Summit seeks to create an environment in which innovation, design and sustainable practices are debated, developed and disseminated. The agenda aims not only to highlight companies that are investing in internationalization, but also to position Brazil as a global leader.
The World Plastic Connection Summit has positioned itself as an innovative ecosystem, with eight differentiated projects, capable of providing companies with networking, commercial promotion, business, image, information and training activities, among others. The event has the unique ability to integrate all segments of the plastics production chain: from the extraction and production of raw materials to the transformation of these inputs into end products.
In addition, the program covers the entire market, involving retailers, industries, distributors, and both local and international buyers, creating a diverse environment for exchange and collaboration. Also, important is the attention paid to the end of the life cycle of plastic products, promoting conscious disposal practices and effective recycling and treatment strategies.
This holistic approach not only strengthens business connections, but also emphasizes environmental responsibility, positioning ESG debates at the forefront of the global plastics industry.
The World Plastic Connection Summit ecosystem was created to address different aspects of the industry and is divided into eight independent projects that complement each other within the program.
