Held annually at the Guangzhou Poly World Trade Expo Centre, the fair is more than just a showcase—it's a hub for innovation, strategic partnerships, and forward-thinking solutions in the private label sector.

In its upcoming fourth edition, the event is set to build upon its reputation as a dynamic platform where manufacturers, retailers, importers, and brand owners gather to explore growth opportunities across categories such as food, non-food goods, beauty and personal care, packaging, services, and pet products. This convergence of sectors makes Marca China a unique and multifaceted trade show that reflects the evolution of private label strategies around the world.

A Multi-Sector Focus: From Food to Pet Care

Private label products are no longer just generic alternatives to name brands—they're becoming symbols of quality, authenticity, and innovation. At Marca China, this transformation is visible in every aisle, booth, and product demonstration.

This digital dimension is especially valuable for brands exploring omnichannel retail or optimizing their presence on platforms like JD.com, Tmall, and Pinduoduo.

PolyNext Awards & Conference

The PolyNext Conference: Driving Global Change in Plastic Recycling and Sustainability

The PolyNext Conference is a premier global platform dedicated to advancing plastic recycling, sustainability, and circular economy solutions. It serves not just as an industry event, but as a movement committed to reshaping how we handle plastic waste, encouraging innovation, and accelerating global sustainability efforts. By bringing together leading minds—industry leaders, innovators, policymakers, and changemakers—the conference tackles the critical environmental challenges of our time. From the first moment attendees arrive, they become part of a shared vision to reduce environmental impact and foster long-term ecological resilience.

At its core, PolyNext emphasizes collaboration over competition. The event creates a space where stakeholders from diverse backgrounds exchange ideas, share best practices, and build partnerships that transcend traditional sectoral boundaries. This inclusiveness strengthens the foundation of the circular economy and empowers businesses, governments, and individuals to implement effective and lasting change.

The Circular Economy: A Central Theme of the Conference

One of the most important themes at PolyNext is the transition toward a fully functioning circular economy. This model replaces the traditional linear system of "take, make, dispose" with a regenerative approach focused on reusing, recycling, and remanufacturing materials—particularly plastics.

Unlike conventional conferences that emphasize short-term fixes, PolyNext prioritizes long-term strategies and solutions that are scalable and sustainable. Discussions range from infrastructure development and policy reform to consumer education and technological innovation. The goal is to foster systems where materials continuously flow in closed loops, minimizing waste and reducing the need for virgin resource extraction.

This strategic framework is reflected throughout every aspect of the event—from keynote presentations and panel discussions to workshops and networking sessions. Experts offer insights on implementing circular models in real-world scenarios, from packaging to construction, retail, automotive, and more.

Transforming Challenges into Opportunities: The Plastic Recycling Revolution

Plastic recycling has long faced criticism due to inefficiencies, low recovery rates, and contamination issues. The PolyNext Conference directly confronts these challenges by highlighting technological breakthroughs and process improvements that are transforming the recycling industry.

Among the many discussions, attendees explore:

Innovative recycling technologies such as chemical recycling and AI-powered sorting systems.

Policy frameworks that incentivize producers to design for recyclability.

Cross-sector partnerships that integrate efforts across manufacturing, logistics, and waste management.

Education initiatives aimed at improving consumer participation in recycling systems.

These conversations aim to demystify the barriers to effective recycling and empower stakeholders to adopt and advocate for viable solutions. The event underscores that while the challenges are significant, the opportunities for progress are even greater.

Awarding Excellence: Celebrating Sustainability Champions

An exciting highlight of the PolyNext Conference is its prestigious awards program, which honors excellence in sustainable practices and celebrates the trailblazers of the plastic recycling sector. This recognition not only rewards innovation but also provides visibility to projects and companies that are leading the way in creating a more circular world.

The awards fall into several key categories:

Innovation in Recycling Technology – Recognizing cutting-edge advancements in sorting, processing, or material innovation.

Sustainable Packaging Design – Celebrating packaging solutions that minimize waste and improve recyclability.

Community Impact – Acknowledging initiatives that have achieved measurable environmental and social benefits.

Corporate Leadership – Honoring organizations that have embedded sustainability deeply into their operations.

By shining a spotlight on these achievements, PolyNext inspires others to follow suit and encourages ongoing innovation within the industry.

Engaging All Stakeholders: A Multi-Level Approach to Sustainability

What sets the PolyNext Conference apart is its inclusive approach. Rather than focusing solely on high-level business leaders, it actively involves:

Environmental NGOs

University researchers and students

Municipal planners

Product designers

Financial institutions

Waste management professionals

Each group brings a unique perspective to the table, enriching the conversation and creating a truly holistic approach to solving the plastic crisis. For example, local governments can learn from multinational corporations about implementing scalable recycling infrastructure, while academic researchers can present findings that influence future public policy.

Such cross-pollination of ideas ensures that sustainability solutions are both innovative and practical.

Why PolyNext Matters More Than Ever

As the world faces growing environmental threats from plastic pollution, climate change, and dwindling resources, conferences like PolyNext have never been more crucial. They serve as touchpoints for progress, unity, and collective action.

Here are just a few reasons why this event matters:

Plastic waste continues to pollute oceans, rivers, and landfills.

Many regions still lack access to proper recycling infrastructure.

There is a disconnect between policy and implementation in many countries.

Public awareness about recycling remains inconsistent.

PolyNext directly addresses these issues with targeted sessions, expert-led panels, and strategic solution-building.

Key Topics Explored at PolyNext

The scope of the conference is intentionally broad to capture the complexity of modern sustainability issues. Key topics covered include:

Global supply chain transformation

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies

Advanced material innovation and biodegradable plastics

Investment and funding for green technologies

Consumer behavior and market incentives

By the end of the event, attendees leave not only with new knowledge but also with actionable tools they can apply in their industries or communities.

Practical Takeaways for Attendees

PolyNext is more than a forum for dialogue—it’s a place for action. Many participants return year after year because of the tangible benefits they receive. Some of the most valued takeaways include:

Connections with potential partners, clients, or collaborators

Insight into upcoming regulations and compliance requirements

Knowledge of emerging technologies that reduce costs and improve sustainability

Opportunities to showcase innovation and receive industry recognition

These benefits help to amplify the ripple effects of the event far beyond the days it is held.

Shaping the Future of Plastic Recyclability

The PolyNext Conference is not just an annual event—it is a milestone in the journey toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. By convening key players from across the globe, this gathering offers a powerful platform to tackle today’s most pressing challenges and inspire solutions for tomorrow.

Whether you're an industry veteran, a startup founder, a policy advocate, or simply a concerned citizen, your participation in PolyNext means becoming part of a global community committed to real, lasting change.

Join us to shape the future of plastic recyclability and contribute to a more sustainable world.
