意大利米兰国际塑料橡胶工业展览会（PLAST）是世界范围内最重要的塑料和橡胶工业展览会之一，该展从1967年开始，三年一届，在米兰国际展览中心举行。该展涉及塑料及橡胶行业全系列产品及加工机械设备，对于各种制造工艺（注塑，挤出等），原材料（塑料和橡胶），添加剂等的机械，设备和模具，所有商品类别的代表性也趋于同样的趋势。
PLAST将是欧洲塑料和橡胶工业最重要的节日，参展商是机械设备制造商、原材料生产商、转换器等代表。PLAST参展商将提供一系列更新服务，包括FieraMilano的网络门户Expoage和智能目录，展会免费WiFi，每个参展商的免费停车位，过道地毯等。
PLAST是“创新联盟”的成员，首次将五个国际博览会（IPACK-IMA，MEAT-TECH，PLAST，PRINT4ALL和INTRALOGISTICA ITALIA）融合在一起，可以通过单程入场券访问。在统一的供应链和部门亲和力的逻辑中，这些活动将展示不同行业的技术优势：从塑料和橡胶加工到工业成型，从制造到包装，从用于包装和标签的定制图形到商品处理和存储。该活动将占据米兰展览中心所有的大厅。
为了整理塑料和橡胶行业的技术和材料，PLAST还将举办三个卫星展会：ROBBER（与ASSOGOMMA合作），3D PLAST（3D打印及相关技术）和PLAST-MAT（创新材料）。
PLAST来自四十多个国家（包括中国，印度，墨西哥，美国，土耳其，俄罗斯和韩国）的代表团，至少有300名以上来自塑料和橡胶的授权代表将在展会上与机械制造商和意大利公司会面洽谈商务合作。还将有来自世界各地的四十个贸易协会与自己的机构立场，以及意大利的大学。

展会报告(Show Reports):
In light of the ongoing pandemic and uncertainties regarding the timeline and methods of the vaccination campaign — elements that continue to condition activities in the plastics and rubber industry and, most importantly, strongly limit travel by Italian and foreign operators — and as urged by exhibitors, the organizers of PLAST-International Exhibition for Plastics and Rubber Industries — has decided to postpone the event to a future date to be determined, but certainly after the end of 2021.
The current situation and the impossibility of envisaging future options with any reasonable degree of confidence make it impossible to adequately plan and organize an international event of the stature of PLAST, representing a showcase for complex technologies and systems. Both the organizers and the participants require a significant amount of time to plan the event and this cannot be guaranteed at present.
The difficult decision to postpone has been taken regretfully but responsibly, the prime objective being to ensure the safety of all parties involved. The organizers look forward to being able to schedule the next PLAST under the best conditions possible and with in-person attendance.
The new dates will be determined in the coming weeks.
The previous edition of the trade fair took place in Milan from 29 May to 1 June 2018. It featured 1,510 exhibitors from 55 countries, occupied a net area of 55,000 m2 in six halls of Fiera Milano in Rho-Pero, and drew in 63,000 visitors from 117 countries.
