Berlin – the city of contrasts, creativity, and once again, the epicenter of everything cutting-edge in technology and sustainability. Greentech Festival 2025 brought together a global crowd – from bold start-ups to corporate giants who already understand that being “green” isn’t just a color, it’s survival strategy 2.0.
The lineup? Powerhouses from the plastics industry, next-gen furniture makers, automotive titans like VW and Hyundai… But what really stood out? People got real. No fluff. No sugarcoated PR decks. Just tangible solutions, hard data, and real-world impact.
“There was a shared fire across all industries. Everyone knows the talk isn’t enough anymore – we need action. Circularity, traceability, regenerative thinking, and open collaboration were the real stars of this festival,” said Marco Aulisa, co-founder of Plastic Guys.
Plastic Isn’t a Dirty Word Anymore
It’s refreshing to see the narrative shifting – even in circles where plastic was once public enemy number one. Materials are finally being judged on durability, recyclability, and real-world impact – not just on trendy labels.
And that’s music to our ears. At Plastic Guys, we’ve always believed that plastic can be part of the solution. When you take it back, break it down, reshape it, and reuse it – all with a clear process and accountability – you create a new material with a story. One that can last for decades. That’s what circular design really looks like. No theory, just practice.
Sustainability Means Serious Business
Greentech made one thing crystal clear: sustainability isn’t some feel-good trend. It’s a market demand. Companies want data. They want traceability. They want proof. It’s not enough to say something is “eco-friendly.” You need to know where it came from, how it was made, where it ends up – and who’s taking responsibility.
Sound intense? Maybe. But honestly – it’s the only way to build something that actually lasts. It’s not about making a “nice” product and crossing your fingers. It’s about building a system that stands up to scrutiny – from customers and investors alike.
So, What’s the Takeaway?
Plastic has a future – but only if we use it smartly. Sustainability isn’t a campaign, it’s a mindset shift. Collaboration beats competition. Tech is essential, but courage and transparency are non-negotiable.
And us? We’re ready. We’re not here to just be “those guys with recycled plastic.” We want to redefine what manufacturing can look like in the 21st century. And after this festival, we know we’re not alone.
