Abstract
The plastics industry is changing. Not only are global influences leading to greater competition; a number of sectors that rely heavily on the plastics industry are also undergoing radical transformations. Consider the automotive industry: in this sector, a radical process of transformation and change is underway as new, more environmentally friendly drive systems are being developed—in particular, the move to electric vehicles. The CEO of Volkswagen AG has set out a clear position on electric cars, thereby triggering a dramatic upheaval. This issue has been given additional impetus through to the “Fridays for Future” movement and the diesel emissions scandal.
