COUNTDOWN ON TO PLASTICS LIVE IRELAND

As the countdown begins to Plastics Live Ireland (taking place on 26–27 November 2025 at the RDS Arena in Dublin) anticipation is building across the UK and Irish plastics industries. This landmark event promises to be a powerful new platform for collaboration, innovation, and growth, bringing together every part of the plastics value chain under one roof.

Far from being just another trade show, Plastics Live Ireland has been designed as a strategic gathering for an industry that is both globally significant and locally vital. It reflects Ireland’s growing reputation as a hub of advanced manufacturing, where plastics form the backbone of sectors such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, automotive, electronics, and packaging.

“Plastics Live Ireland represents a defining moment for the Irish plastics sector,” says Scott Colman, Founder and Managing Director of Plastics Live. “Ireland has built an international reputation for quality, technical capability, and sustainable innovation. We felt it was time to give the industry its own high-level platform, a place to celebrate progress, share ideas, and shape what comes next.”

Ireland’s plastics community is recognised for its technical sophistication, but until now, it has lacked a dedicated national showcase. Plastics Live Ireland fills that gap, providing a forum for suppliers, manufacturers, designers, engineers, and end-users to meet, learn, and collaborate.

The event will feature live demonstrations, technical presentations, and conference sessions exploring key themes such as automation, sustainability, materials innovation, and the digital transformation of manufacturing. Attendees can expect to see how Industry 4.0 is reshaping production efficiency and how circular economy principles are redefining the use of plastics for a more sustainable future.

Colman explains, “The value of a strong national event lies in its ability to connect people, to inspire conversation between companies that might never otherwise meet, to accelerate innovation, and to provide the spark for new partnerships. Plastics Live Ireland is about creating that momentum for the entire sector.”

While the show is proudly rooted in Ireland, its reach extends beyond national borders. The UK and Ireland share one of Europe’s most integrated manufacturing relationships, and Plastics Live Ireland offers a neutral ground where both markets can come together.

For UK suppliers, the event is a chance to connect with Ireland’s fast-growing industrial base. For Irish companies, it offers access to expertise, technology, and investment from across the UK and Europe. The cross-pollination of ideas, skills, and innovation is what will make this event so powerful.

“We’re creating an event with a real sense of purpose,” Colman continues. “Whether you’re an established multinational or an SME, Plastics Live Ireland is designed to help you make the right connections (with customers, suppliers, and collaborators)  to move your business forward.”

For anyone involved in plastics manufacturing, a visit to Plastics Live Ireland is not just valuable — it’s essential. It’s an opportunity to gain direct access to new technologies, engage in meaningful discussion with industry experts, and benchmark against the best in the field.

Colman concludes, “Our mission is to give the plastics industry in Ireland and the UK a space to grow stronger together. We’re proud to be creating an event that is as practical as it is visionary, a place where ideas turn into action and partnerships turn into progress.”
